| Medals |
Military Medal On 20th September, 1917, at HOOGE, was on duty with the Laison Officer who accompanied the Battalions detailed for the capture of the final objective. This telephonist remained throughout the whole operation, at his post, being the only survivor of a party of five, the remainder having been wounded or become otherwise detached. His services proved of great value and he materially assisted the Liaison Officer in transmitting his information. Bombardier MASHMAN displayed throughout a complete disregard for his own safety in spite of having been subjected to an unusually heavy enemy shell and machine gun fire. He had on several occasions to carry messages by hand through a heavy enemy barrage, a task which he performed courageously and successfully.'
