Military Medal 'During the attack of the Turks on 19th May 1915 this man took a Machine Gun from its tripod and laying it on the parapet brought a heavy fire to bear on the enemy and caused them such heavy losses that this part of their attack was driven back to their trenches. Again at Lonesome Pine on 6th August 1915 MARTIN mounted his gun on the parados and until wounded brought heavy enfilade fire straight into a Communication trench along which Turkish reinforcements were pouring.'
