Military Medal 'At FLEURBAIX, FRANCE, on 3rd July, 1916, Lance Corporal Haworth was in charge of a listening post, containing men, 60 yards in advance of our trenches, when two men were killed alongside him. With the greatest bravery he got the remainder under cover and went to the assistance of a wounded man close by and carried him into our trenches, exposed throughout to heavy shrapnel and machine gun fire. Later he again went out from our trenches in daylight to find the body of a man and carried it in.'
