Military Medal 'On the morning of the 17th September 1917 Sgt. ADDISON was in charge of a party doing urgent work near HOOGE and CHATEAU WOOD. The enemy put down a heavy barrage but the work was pushed on till the last possible moment. When the fire became intense he gathered his party which was spread out on work several hundred yards long and installed them in a place of safety. In traversing the job to make sure allwere safe he was severely wounded. His action though the whole of the work was an admirable example to all ranks.'
