Military Medal 'At BEAUMETZ on the morning 24th May 1917 No 2726 Private H.H.S. STREET showed great coolness and courage in the face of the enemy. he was in charge of a Lewis gun with a Sentry Group and when the enemy attacked he kept the gun firing, inflicting great loss on the enemy. Later, when the enemy brought fire to bear on the post and attempted to surround it by crawling, private STREET again brought his gun into action, and regardless of the heavy fire, frustrated the enemy efforts and kept him back until support fire from the rear was secured. His coolness and good work at this period were of the highest order and without doubt saved the post.'
