Military Medal Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 169 Date: Bar to Military Medal 'During the operations at POLYGON WOOD east of YPRES on 19/22nd September, 1917, Sgt. WILLIAMS rendered inestimable service. Throughout the whole action he showed conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty. It was he, who, after his platoon commander had been hit, reorganised the platoon and thus enabled it to go forward as an organised body. During the enemy barrage he went about in the open directing the men to dig in and showing stretcher bearers where the wounded lay, all the time being exposed to heavy enemy shell fire and showing an absolute disregard for same.'
