Medals |
Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During the advance of his Company at STRAZEELE on night 16th/17th April, 1918, it was found necessary to get covering fire from an outpost of another Company, Private MANNERMAN was sent with a message to the Commander of the outpost and succeeded in getting through in spite of the fact that the ground to be covered was under intense artillery and machine gun fire. It was then found necessary to communicate with the Battalion on the right and this soldier volunteered and carried a message through the same intense barrage. His bravery and devotion to duty and success in getting these important messages through greatly assisted the advance.'
