Military Medal 'During the attack on POLYGON WOOD east of YPRES on 20th September, 1917, this N.C.O. did fine work in charge of a Lewis Gun Section. When a portion of the line was held up by a German Strong Point with machine guns, he dashed forward with his gun under heavy artillery and machine gun fire and put the German machine gun out of action, thus enabling the line to advance and capture the Strong Point. His work throughout was of a very high order, and his courage and initiative were of great assistance to his Officers.'
