Military Medal 'These two men [CADWALLADER and 1400 Alexander BREEN] were Battalion runners, during the operations north of POZIERES from 8th/12th August, 1916. It is impossible to speak too highly of their work; not merely once, but fully a dozen times each of them had to go through and did go through without hesitating enemy artillery, HE.E. and shrapnel barrages. They have been buried and rescue on several occasions. no risk was too great for them to take in order to maintain communication to the front line and the Signalling Section. They are both recommended for high distinction.'
