Military Medal 'For his courage and skill in handling his Lewis Machine Gun on the morning of 2nd March, 1917 north-east of LE BARQUE, when our advanced posts were attacked by strong hostile parties. Cpl. HAWKE handled his Lewis Gun with great dash and boldness, and it was largely due to his enterprise that the enemy was dispersed, and numbers of them killed. This N.C.O. has consistently displayed great courage in the use of his Lewis gun, and has at all times set a fine example to the men under him.'
