Military Medal 'During the battalion's tour at POLYGON WOOD 23/27 September Private REID worked inceasingly as a stretcher bearer. From early morning of September 25th and until late in the night of 26th he paused only for meals. Enemy sniping and heavy enemy barrage fire he scorned: and owing to the splendid services of this man and Private Carter, many lives were saved. His stretchers were blown up and he then assisted a neighbouring unit to carry their wounded. His conduct throughout was splendid.'
