Military Medal 'On the 29th September, 1918, during the operations South of BONY, Private SUMMERS, when acting as one of the party cleaning up an enemy Machine Gun Post, rendered great service by carrying up enemy Machine Guns and bombs to give masking fire. When his Officer was wounded within 15 yards of the enemy Post, he worked along the trench under a heavy shower of stick-grenades, and succeeded in bringing the Officer to safety. Throughout the encounter he displayed great dash and devotion to duty in the manner in which he withdrew the party and saved the valuable signalling gear with which his party was entrusted.'
