Military Medal 'On night 24th/25th April 1918 during a counter-attack by the Battalion on a strong enemy position south of VILLERS-BRETONNEUX these two men [BROWN and 3376 E.A. JACKSON], who are Battalion Runners, continually carried messages through heavy machine gun and shell fire to the Companies and Forward Brigade Station. When other communications failed they were ever ready to carry messages regardless of their own personal safety. Their coolness and courage throughout the operation were conspicuous.'
