Military Medal 'For conspicuous and gallant conduct at BROODSEINDE on the 15th October, 1917. During a heavy bombardment by the enemy on the Sector of ground held by the Platoon to which Corporal WEBBER belonged, the Platoon Commander was wounded, Corporal WEBBER immediately took charge and by his cool and courageous actions held the Platoon together. He was himself wounded during the bombardment and although suffering great pain continued to traverse the line until he was relieved by another N.C.O. and ordered to the dressing station. He set a splendid example of courage and devotion to duty to the men of his Unit.'
