Military Medal 'On 24th April, 1918, between the junction of the rivers ANCRE and SOMME this N.C.O. [10658 N.H. RAMSDEN] and men [MAZZAROL, 1659 W. CRUICKSHANK, 20236 C.H. BREALEY] were linesmen attached to 8th Australian Field Artillery Brigade Headquarters. The enemy put down a very heavy bombardment of gas and H.E. and all telephone lines were immediately cut. These men at once set out to try to get communication with Batteries. The lines were broken in dozens of places and the bombardment continued for 8 hours, during which period these men were exposed to the heaviest shell fire. They eventually succeeded in getting communication with Batteries, and it was only by their unflagging energy, dauntless courage and devotion to duty that this was accomplished.'
