Military Medal 'On 24th April, 1918, Driver POLLOCK was centre driver of a team comprising portion of a convoy carting ammunition to the 55th Battery A.F.A. When passing along a sunken road nearing the BONNAY CROSS ROADS, the convoy came under very heavy shell fire, killing two complete teams and wounding all the drivers. Driver POLLOCK although himself wounded immediately picked himself up and went to the assistance of the other drivers. Although the shell fire was particularly heavy and concentrated on this one point, this driver with utter disregard of personal danger extricated from amongst the dying mules one of the other drivers who was badly wounded, and still under heavy shell fire carried him 200 yards to a sap where his wounded could be dressed. His coolness under fire and his disregard of personal danger although himself wounded set a very high example of courage and devotion to duty.'
