Military Medal 'At Noreuil on 2nd April, 1917, this N.C.O. rendered valuable service in filling the gap between the right of the line and the next battalion. He repelled three counter-attacks by the enemy. He also prevented the enemy from getting ammunition to a hostile machine-gun, which eventually had to stop firing. On the night of the 2/3rd he pushed out and linked up with the right battalion.'
