Meritorious Service Medal 'For continuous good service and devotion to duty. R.Q.M.S. BAYNES has rendered excellent and efficient service since November, 1916 and it is largely due to the energetic and efficient manner in which he handles his work that the men of the Battalion have at all times been well cared for under conditions of trench warfare, when in rest, and during recent operations for the past three months on the SOMME. During the absence of the Quartermaster, the responsibility for this Department has rested upon R.Q.M.S. BAYNES, and he as often displayed his ability to handle supply matters in any emergency.'
