Military Medal 'In the attack on the morning of the 19th instant near MORLANCOURT on arrival at the objective, 2 enemy Machine Gun posts caused a gap in our line and were enfilading the party on the right of the gap from the rear. Lieutenant Jones called for volunteers to bomb up this trench where upon 5382 Lance Corporal W.W. NUTTALL, 5368 Private G. MILLIKEN, and 6340 Private J.S. KITCHENER, formed a bombing party. They moved along the trench to bombing range and succeeded in killing or wounding all the garrison and finally rushed the position, capturing the two enemy Machine guns, and established connection with the party on the left of the gap thus securing communication with the left Brigade.'
