Military Medal 'During the attack on MT. ST. QUENTIN near PERONNE, on 1st September, 1918, this man did splendid work as a Sniper, and his coolness and courage did much to relieve the situation ever growing more serious. Casualties kept occurring and the enemy's numbers increasing, but STONEHOUSE remained undaunted. At great personal risk, for machine guns played all round him, he continued to fire, and accounted for from 15 to 20 Germans, he so seldom missed his mark that he appeared to demoralise the enemy, and thus did much to cover a temporary withdrawal of his section which was then taking place. Among his victims was a German whom he dropped from a tree, and who had caused our men much trouble.'
