Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He carried out a successful night raid on the enemy's outpost line, securing much needed identification. During the raid four men became casualties, so this officer reoganized the party, worked round the flank of the enemy's post, and took them in rear, being the first into the trench and capturing a prisoner.'

War service: Western Front Wounded at Villers-Bretonneux, France, 1 June 1918; invalided to No 2 General Hospital, Rouen; transferred to No 3 General Hospital, Wandsworth, London; returned to Australia, 2 July 1919. General Birdwood wrote to Green when he was awarded the Military Cross for work at Sailly-le-Sec on the night of 13 April 1918: "Dear Green, I write to congratulate you very heartily on the award of the Military Cross in recognition of your good work near Sailly-le-Sec on the night of 13th April, when you carried out a successful raid on the enemy's outpost line, and secured identifications which were urgently required. Although the arrangements were partly disorganised by four of your men becoming casualties immediately prior to the raid, you were able to overcome this difficulty, and led your men with great dash and determination, working round the flank of the post, and taking it in the rear. Throughout you set a fine example of good leadership and courage under fire, for which I thank you...." Medals: Military Cross, British War Medal, Victory Medal |
