Military Medal 'At about 11 p.m. on the 28th May 1917, Driver JARVIS was a Driver of a G.S. Wagon Team proceeding along the NEUVE EGLISE-DE KENNABAK road, when the road came under heavy shell fire. A H.E. shell burst amongst the convoy killing one man and wounding JARVIS and other man. The Officer-in-Charge gave orders for the wagons to be driven into a paddock nearby to wait until the shelling had ceased. The wheel Driver had been killed and had fallen on the road, and although himself badly wounded, Driver JARVIS drove his team into safety - a distance of 350 yards. His wound was then examined and on being ordered to Field Ambulance, he still protested against leaving his team. By his pluck and coolness this man set a splendid example to the other men of the convoy.'
