Military Medal 'During the operations east of YPRES on 20th/21st September 1917, Pte. WILSON combined the duties of Signaller and Runner in an efficient manner. Owing to shortage of Signallers and runners and the doubtful communication, he was at times called upon to run a message immediately after completing his duty at the telephone, but regardless of his fatigue and the enemy barrages, he obeyed the slightest order in such a manner as to show to those that he came in contact with his high value as a soldier. As a guide for relieving battalione he was invaluable.'
