Medals |
Military Medal 'On the night of 24th/25th February, 1917, in a raid on the enemy trenches, when his party was temporarily checked at the enemy parapet he rushed at the enemy, calling on his men to follow him. He led the attack with great courage and skill; vigorously pushing ahead and driving the enemy's bombers back. His examples and actions were largely responsible for the success of his party. He carried No. 494 Private M.B. MASON who was wounded, from the enemy's trenches back to our lines, under heavy fire. Sergeant LLOYD also led a party in the Railway Salient on the night of 24th/25th December, 1916.
