Military Medal 'For conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty East of RONSSOY on 29th September 1918. When his Platoon was waiting to advance and being subjected to intense machine gun and shell fire, this Non Commissioned Officer, with no thought of his own safety, keeping moving along the line thereby keeping his men organised and well in hand. Later, he led them across the open close up to the enemy machine guns and then pushed forward alone and located the machine guns which were holding up our advance. By his gallantry and initiative, the enemy opposition was overcome and the whole line enabled to move forward with the minimum of casualties. Throughout the remainder of the Operation, Sergeant RAYBOULD showed the same disregard of danger and commanded his platoon most ably under very trying conditions.'
