Military Medal 'These soldiers [JACKSON, 502 F. BROWN, 2637 A.L. FOLEY, 2665 W.J. HOOPER] distinguished themselves by conspicuous gallantry and endurance as runners and guides throughout the POZIERES operations on 26th August, 1916. They carried their messages without delay, regardless of the nature of the fire to be traversed, and by the shortest routes. Their work has been most valuable in maintaining communication between the Companeis and Headquarters.'
