Military Medal 'During the night attack astride the BRAY-CORBIE Road, on night of 28th/29th July 1918 Private JONES displayed remarkable courage and devotion to duty. He with several others rushed a Bosche Machine Gun post and he was responsible for the capture of the gun which turned out to be a Lewis being used against us. Although severely wounded in the rush he declined to leave the line and pushed on with his mates and assisted as much as lay in his power. With the consolidation of the new position. While carrying on with the consolidation Private JONES was again wounded and only after much persuasion did he consent to be evacuated. Private JONES'S keenness and devotion to duty after being wounded was an inspiration to all those who were with him.'
