Military Medal 'On the morning of 4th October 1917 during the operations East of WESTHOEK, near YPRES, Gunner Harry Munroe was one of the Forward Observing Officers party. Telephonic communication being impossible for the whole distance on account of the heavy shelling of the enemy, the line was laid part of the way and Gunner MUNROE was left in charge of the end of the line and instructed to act as relay runner if necessary. This man was wounded in the hand. Notwithstanding this he remained at his post. Later, the line to the rear being shattered, Gunner Munroe, although wounded, voluntarily returned with a runner from the Battery whom he guided to the F.O.O. He showed great courage, devotion to duty, and loyalty to his comrades under very difficult circumstances and is deserving of special recognition for his action.'
