Military Medal 'Between 13th and 19th November, 1916. North of Flers, for excellent work under great difficulty, owing to adverse weather conditions and under concentrated enemy shell-fire, in keeping up communication with the front line when he repaired a telephone wire running across the open an average of five times a day. This signaller was posted at a relay station, the vicinity of which was regularly shelled, but immediately the wire was broken to the home line he went out, no matter how bad the enemy fire, although he knew that a considerable number of casualties had occurred about the spot where his wire was so often broken. On the night of 19/20th November, during an inter-battalion relief, communication was again temporarily broken with the front line through the enemy shelling about this particular spot. Brady again went out and, although an officer and some men were hit near him, he stuck at his work until communication was re-established. Previously, near Mouquet Farm between 2nd and 4th September, 1916, this signaller did similar good work.'
