Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. These three men were the Engine Driver, Fireman, and Guard, when the attempt was made to save the two rail mounted 12 inch howitzers on the 22nd March, 1918, at Villers Faucon, and also safely saved their engine from falling into the hands of the enemy, although the track was badly broken in three places. They have also been mentioned in a special report.'
