Medals |
Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On the morning of the 29th September 1918, No. 1104, L/Corporal (T/Corporal) C.H. BOHLING was in charge of a section of men, East of RONSSOY, who were detailed to follow immediately in rear of the advancing troops, to make trafficable a section of the Yellow Road. This Non Commissioned Officer led his section to the task under heavy barrage and machine gun fire, and successfully completed the work allotted him, which took practically the whole of the day. L/Corporal (T/Corporal) BOHLING'S cool behaviour, determination and courage, was a magnificent example to his men, and it is due to him that his section completed the task, and was extricated from a perilous position, practically without any loss.'
