| Medals |
Military Medal 'At POZIERES, FRANCE from 19/22nd August 1916, No. 3160 Pte C.E. MALONEY showed conspicuous bravery during the recent assault N.E. of POZIERES and particularly on the night of the assault when he carried messages and reports backwards and forwards fron front line to Advanced Headquarters in O.G.1. These messages and reports were of the most vital importance and had to be carried through intense barrages of enemy fire. His untiring efforts up to the time of relief (night of 21/22nd. August) in locating our positions are also worthy of mention, because of the great risks he knew he was taking. He also guided numerous digging parties to their tasks, thereby saving much valuable time.'
