Military Medal 'On the 18th September, 1918, during operations east of HESBECOURT, this N.C.O. showed fine leadership and bravery. Marshall was in charge of a section of the right Platoon and was responsible for maintaining touch with the right Battalion. Throughout the advance he kept excellent control over his Section. He had his men well up to the barrage and was ready at all times for whatever happened. He showed great daring and brilliantly carried out a bombing attack on a Machine Gun nest that had barred the way. He alone accounted for the crew of 3 and the gun. The feats of daring performed by this N.C.O. had a marked effect on the troops.'
