Military Medal 'On the night of the 31st May, 1918, east of AMIENS, 1st June, 1918, east of VILLERS BRETONNEUX, this man was a member of a party which raided the enemy trenches. On entering the trench the enemy were found in strength and a hand to hand fight took place. Private PLENTY fought with great gallantry and bravery, thus materially assisting his party in their withdrawal to our lines from a difficult position. He personally carried his Officer who was twice wounded subsequently to our one lines under very heavy machine gun and rifle fire, and twice later during the night he guided patrols in No Man's Land while in their search for wounded and dead. Throughout the whole period his actions were characterised by conspicuous gallantry and the utmost devotion to duty and he set an excellent example to his comrades.'
