Military Medal 'This soldier was sent forward with a ration party to the front line on the night of 11th September, 1918 in the JEANCOURT sector. In pushing through a heavy enemy barrage, the whole party was wounded. Though severely wounded in the leg, Private KYLE succeeded, alone, in getting the rations forward to the men in the line. This courage, devotion to duty and determination, set the finest example to his Unit. NOTE: Wounded, shell, right leg, severe.'
