Military Medal 'During a raid made by the 10th Battalion on CELTIC WOOD east of YPRES on the morning of 9/10/17 Sgt. MILTON showed exceptional courage and determination. After the signal to return to the front line had been given he endeavoured to cary in the dead body of the raid commander. Finding this impossible owing to heavy machine gun fire he returned to his Company in the front line. He then carried in a wounded comrade who was lying about 150 yards in front of our line and although continually sniped by the enemy he finally got the wounded man into safety. During the whole period of the raid Sgt. MILTON'S excellent work encouraged and inspired all those who witnessed it.'
