Medals |
Military Medal 'On the 18th August 1918 during the operations near HEREVILLE this Non-Commissioned Officer patrolled a large gap which had been left during the attack. Being constantly under heavy enemy Machine Gun fire. He brought back information of the highest value as, by means of it, we were enabled to establish posts in the most advantageous and advanced positions. Later he went forward alone to an advanced position and, by skilful sniping, accounted for at least 6 of the enemy, thus helping to keep them in a disorganised state.'
