Military Medal 'During the offensive operations near ZONNEBEKE on 26th September, 1917, Corporal HUTTON set an example of courage of the highest order. When in charge of an advanced post to cover the work of consolidation he crawled forward to a position from which he and his section could enfilade an enemy post who were causing casualties amongst our working parties. This post came under heavy machine gun fire and all the men with him became casualties. He carried on alone until relieved 9 hours later.'
