Medals |
Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On the 25th October 1917 during the advance of the Batteries from BIRR CROSS ROADS to BELLEWARDE, Driver H. JONES who was in charge of the leading gun team, by his courage and devotion to duty succeeded in getting his gun into position under very heavy shell fire and across almost impassable ground. His sterling work under heavy fire and very adverse conditions not only permitted his gun to get into action and be registered at a very critical time, but also set a splendid example to his comrades.'
