Meritorious Service Medal 'For gallant conduct and devotion to duty in the field, whilst in the YPRES Sector, during the months of October and November, 1917. On the 8th October, 1917, this N.C.O. was sent out with a party to LAKE WOOD to endeavour to recover 10 G.S. wagons which had to be abandoned owing to enemy action. Despite heavy shell fire, through his courage, initiative and coolness, he was able to recover 6 wagons and convey them back to the lines, 4 being totally destroyed beyond saving. Sergeant ANDREWS has always under all conditions displayed most exemplary conduct, and set an inspiring example to those under him.'
