Military Medal 'On the morning of the 11th April, 1917 in the attack on the HINDENBURG LINE in the vicinity of REINCOURT, Private AMOR displayed the utmost gallantry and devotion to duty with one other surviving member of Lewis Machine Gun crew he kept up a deadly fire at the enemy at every opportunity. To obtain a more commanding position at great risk to himself he took his gun out in front of the line of trenches. In the retirement when practically al organisation and order had been lost and every man had to make his own way home in spite of enfilading machine gun fire and an artillery barrage he carried his gun till when approaching our line a piece of shell smashed the barrel. Throughout he displayed great judgment and initiative and the British tenacity of purpose.'
