Military Medal 'In the attack on PERONNE on 1st September 1918 during the action we were subjected to very heavy Machine Gun fire from the left which was an exposed flank. The enemy were massing here and Lance Corporal WEBB with his section took up a succession of positions on the left and brought fire to bear on the enemy, causing him to disperse and inflicting heavy casualties. This was an exceedingly difficult and dangerous operation owing to the open nature of the country and the very heavy enemy fire. He showed great coolness and courage and such disregard of personal safety, that he set a very excellent example to his men.'
