Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during the operations near LE VERQUIER on the 18th September, 1918. Sergeant BOBRIDGE under very heavy machine gun fire and artillery barrage rallied and organised his men for the final charge on the Objective. While moving along in front of his platoon Sergeant BOBRIDGE was severely wounded but he continued to direct his platoon until the objective had been reached when he was forced to leave owing to the severity of his wounds. His fine leadership was the means of overcoming the strong enemy opposition at minimum casualties to his platoon. The work of Sergeant BOBRIDGE throughout the attack was conspicuous for his fine leadership and exceptional courage.'
