Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during attack by 58th Battalion on PERONNE on 2nd September 1918. Sergeant BOADLE was in charge of No. 5 Platoon, after getting his men through the heavy shelling in PERONNE, he reorganised the platoon in the position of assembly and also assisted in reorganising the company prior to the attack. During the attack he got his platoon forward under heavy machine gun fire, and greatly facilitated the advance of the left flank by covering fire and by neutralising Machine Gun Posts. When the objective had been reached, Sergeant BOADLE reorganised his platoon, and then assisted in reorganising Nos. 6 and 7 Platoons whose N.C.O.s had become casualties. This N.C.O. displayed excellent judgment and leadership throughout the operation, not only dealing with his own command speedily and well but also assisting the remainder of the company at every opportunity.'
