Croix de Guerre (Belgium) Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 91 Date: Military Medal 'These three Battalion Headquarters Pioneers [JARMAN, 3452 W. BAILLIE, 530 G.F. ARMOUR] during the operation near VILLERS-BRETONNEUX on night 24th/25th April 1918 and on 25th April 1918 volunteered to act as stretcher bearers and worked for many hours across heavily shelled country, which was also periodically swept by intense machine gun fire. This action on their part considerably assisted in lightening the work of the regular bearers who had suffered many casualties, and showed a fine devotion to duty.'
