Military Medal 'On 29th September, 1918, during operations South of BONY, Lance Corporal HARRIS with two other men were working up an enemy trench in the Hindenburg Line. During the advance of the Company they came under heavy machine gun fire and whilst taking shelter a party of the enemy rushed them and commenced bombing our troops. Lance Corporal HARRIS immediately left his shelter and faced the enemy throwing bombs and driving them back along the trench, he then picked up a Lewis Gun and rushed down the trench towards the enemy and succeeded in killing the crew of a machine gun which was causing a lot of trouble.'
