Military Medal 'These men [MANSFIELD and 6855 J. O'HEHIR] were the only stretcher bearers left on the objective during the attack on MONT ST. QUENTIN, near PERONNE, on 31st August 1918, and worked in such a tireless manner under heavy artillery and machine gun fire, that their courage can only be described as superb. Time after time, they ventured out over the trenches for the wounded, and carried them to the R.A.P. which was some considerable distance away, through constant fire from enemy guns. They did this again and again for 24 hours until they became utterly exhausted.'
