Military Medal 'This N.C.O. was Supply Staff Sergeant at Brighton Beach Depot for the period 26th April to 15th December 1915. During the whole of this time he worked under conditions of very great danger, as the Depot was always liable to be fired upon. Frequently the enemy's Artillery from two quarters was very severe, but this did not deter S.S. MEIKLE who in all circumstances showed bravery, coolness and resource, by his bearing and behaviour he set a good example to the Troops when under fire. He was never absent from duty for any cause during the whole period mentioned.'
