Military Medal 'Private ROSS was stationed with a stretcher squad on 5th April at a Bearer Relay Post between Lavieville and Buire, when the area was subjected to a heavy bombardment preparatory to an enemy attack. Seeing many casualties occurring among troops coming under the barrage as they were passing up in support, Private ROSS went out to their assistance under the heaviest shell fire. he showed the greatest coolness and resource in dressing the wounded and placing them in whatever shelter was available until he was able to return later with bearers and supervise their evacuation to the Dressing Station.'
