Military Medal 'On 4th July 1918 near BUIRE-SUR-ANCRE and TREUX, South West of ALBERT, Sergeant JONES displayed conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty while in charge of all the Field Ambulance stretcher-bearers evacuating the wounded from 15th Australian Infantry Brigade. He showed absolute disregard for personal safety in moving from post to post under extremely heavy shelling in order to supervise and control the stretcher-bearers. His splendid bravery, cheerfulness and care for his men had an excellent effect. He showed ability and sound judgment in directing the work of the bearers. On one occasion Sergeant JONES went out alone to render first aid to a wounded man, during a very heavy burst of shell fire. He dressed the patient and brought him in single-handed. His conduct throughout the day was an inspiring example to his men.'
