Military Medal 'In the vicinity of BAPAUME, during the period from 14th March to 17th March, 1917, No. 2956a Private MORGAN, 31st Battalion, displayed conspicuous coolness and bravery. For two days and nights, this man, who was a rifle grenadier, was on duty at the forward bomb block in WARLENCOURT Trench, and it was partly due to his efforts with rifle grenades that the blocks were advanced. Notwithstanding heavy shelling, he remained cool and, on one occasion, after a shell had blown a bombing team of ours out, he rendered great assistance in getting the wounded away. In addition, this man has always displayed great coolness and courage in the line.'
