Medals |
Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during the attack on the 5th April 1918 against our positions opposite DERNANCOURT and ALBERT. This N.C.O. rendered most gallant and timely service in keeping the six guns in action notwithstanding the heavy shell fire directed against the Battery, and it was very largely due to his courage and energy that his guns continued effective throughout the day. When the Sergeant of No. 1 gun was wounded, Corporal QUANTOCK at once took command and most effectively carried on the service of the gun. His service throughout has been excellent and a fine example to the Battery.'
