| Medals |
Military Medal 'This N.C.O. displayed great courage and coolness in attacking a strongly held enemy post during the operations of morning of 8th August, 1918 East of VILLERS-BRETONNEUX near AMIENS. While his platoon was moving forward through a very heavy go, machine gun fire was encountered from the left. Corporal GREEN and two men volunteered to attack the post and working behind it rushed the garrison, bayoneting the gunner and capturing 17 prisoners with a machine gun. During the attack on the 11th August against RAINECOURT this N.C.O. again carried out excellent work. Immediately the objective was reached he set his Lewis gun in action, inflicting heavy casualties on the retreating enemy.'
