Military Medal 'At DERNANCOURT on 5th April 1918 these three men [MARSHALL, 1131 A. ELLIOTT, 2793 J. JACKSON] were attached as Sappers and were working continually under shell fire, when enemy attacked in force they took rifles and manned the trenches with infantry and materially assisted in keeping the enemy off. They worked valiantly for over 3 hours firing rifles and using bombs with great effect until all were seriously wounded. Their brave bearing and gallant action of such a crises is worthy of the best traditions of the army and they set a fine example to their comrades.'
