Military Medal 'On the 5th and 6th April, 1918, at BUIRE near ALBERT this man was instrumental in maintaining communication between his Company Headquarters and Battalion Headquarters throughout the whole of an intense enemy bombardment. He mended breaks in the wires under constant and heavy shell fire, keeping the line serviceable and so enabling the Commanding Officer to be in constant touch with the front line. His courage and coolness were of a high order under harassing conditions.'
