Military Medal 'South of Strazeele on the morning of the 12th July 1918, Sergeant HART was one of a party of five who left our lines with the object of endeavouring to mop up the enemy posts some 200 yards in front of our line. All the enemy posts were captured without loss to the party, 28 prisoners and 4 machine guns being captured. Sergeant HART showed great courage and initiative throughout and rendered great assistance to his Officer in directing operations. Later, after his Platoon moved forward and occupied the position he continued to do good work and after his Officer was wounded he took command and skilfully carried out his duties.' |
