Military Medal 'On 29th September, 1918, during operations South of BONY, whilst the Company was moving up to the Hindenburg Line, it came under heavy machine gun fire from close range. Upon reaching cover it was found that a man was lying wounded out in the open Private RAWSON rushed out under heavy enemy fire, rendered first aid, and brought the wounded man in to safety. Throughout the whole operation Private RAWSON worked continuously through heavy fire, both from enemy machine guns and artillery, carrying and attending to the wounded.'
