Military Medal 'At POLYGON WOOD on 26/28 September 1917, an enemy machine gun held up a portion of our line for a time, but by boldly and skilfully working from shell hole to shell hole, this man succeeded in creeping on the gun, killed the crew and returned with the gun; thus allowing the advance to continue. Throughout the operation, his courage was magnificent.'
