Military Medal 'On the night 27th/28th April, 1918, near SAILLY LAURETTE, this soldier, who was one of a raiding party who went out to secure identification, showed exceptional bravery and devotion to duty. He remained close to his Officer, and when the Officer rushed the enemy trenches Private STEVENS was alongside of him and helped to seize the prisoner and take him to our lines. On the way back to our lines he was wounded in the body. He gallantly carried on, however, and greatly assisted in bringing in two wounded comrades under heavy enemy machine gun fire. It was largely due to his devotion that the two wounded comrades were brought back to our lines. He set a fine example of gallant action and bravery, to the rest of the raiding party.'
