Military Medal 'On May 3rd near NOREUIL they were NO. 1 and 2 of a Lewis Gun crew. They took their gun forward inside the enemy's wire and dispersed an enemy party moving forward to reinforce O.G.1 The wire at this point was being swept by Machine Gun fire. Later on they took the gun round to the flank and took up a position between O.G. 1 and O.G. 2. The gun was put out of action. They succeeded in salvaging one from a dead crew and got it into working order, and remained there in position till the Battalion withdrew.'
