Military Medal 'At about 9 p.m. on the night of 16th September, 1917, near HOOGE, the battery was being heavily shelled, when a shell set the battery ammunition dump on fire. Sergeant SCOTT left cover and unaided worked for fifteen minutes before he finally succeeded in extinguishing the fire, his hands being burnt whilst so doing. The barrage at the time was exceedingly heavy. By this action Sergeant SCOTT saved what may have been a very dangerous situation, and undoubtedly he saved many rounds of ammunition from destruction. His coolness and disregard for personal danger also set a splendid example to the personnel of the Battery. Sergeant SCOTT's general devotion to duty and gallant conduct have repeatedly been most marked.'
