Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On October 20th when carrying rations to his Battery position at TOKIO (East of YPRES), a heavy barrage was put down by the enemy. One of his horses being wounded by a shell, Driver C.F. ROBINSON distributed his load between himself and the remaining horse, and in spite of the continued heavy shell fire and his horse being repeatedly bogged, he stuck to his work until he succeeded in delivering the rations to the Battery. Similar gallant and timely service has been repeatedly rendered by this Driver throughout the period from 10th September to 28th October 1917.'
