Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during operations near ZONNEBEKE, East of YPRES. On the morning of 7th November 1917, while the Bn. transport was conveying rations along ZONNEBEKE Road, it was subjected to heavy shell fire, causing many casualties in men and horses. Driver WALLIS's team bolted and threw him heavily to the ground, the limber passing over him. Although badly shaken and bruised, he immediately mounted another team, the driver of which had become a casualty, and through heavy shell fire drove to appointed dump. He then returned, hitched the team to his own limber and took it forward. By his action he materially assisted in saving nearly the whole of the rations for the troops in the front line.'
