Military Medal 'On the 25th April 1918 in CACHY near VILLERS BRETONNEUX, Private MITCHELL was working with several squads of bearers clearing wounded from an R.A.P. The village was at the time being heavily shelled. Private MITCHELL re-organised the squads as casualties occurred and by a splendid exhibition of courage and devotion to duty set a fine example of moral to all whom were working with him.'
