Medals |
Military Medal 'For coolness and courage during an enemy attack on our lines near ALBERT 3rd April, 1918. When the enemy Artillery barrage ceased and the first waves of the attackers appeared, Private Berryman seized a bag of bombs, rushed across the rails exposed to machine guns and snipers, waited behind a hedge until the enemy were in range and with his bombs greatly assisted to disorganise the attack. He then used his rifle, and later on returned to our line with a wounded comrade.'
