Military Medal 'At ARMENTIERES on the night of 5th February, 1917, at about 7 p.m., Lance Corporal TREMBATH was in charge of the Lewis gun. Ascertaining that a member of a scout patrol operating in front of his sector had been wounded by enemy machine gun fire, he engaged the enemy's gun from over the parapet, he himself being exposed to heavy fire, thus enabling the wounded man to be brought back. He succeeded in silencing the enemy gun, and then, handing over his own weapon, crawled out to the front of our wire and assisted scout ANKIGNOW (who was exhausted) to carry the wounded man back to our lines. This work was carried out in bright moonlight.'
