Military Medal 'During the attack near ZONNEBEKE on 26th September, 1917, CUSDH volunteered and carried an important message from the assaulting waves bak to Advanced Brigade Headquarters. At this time the enemy had put down his counter barrage which was across the route CUSH had to traverse. Without a moment's hesitation, CUSH set off, traversed the barrage safely and delivered the message to its destination. He is at all times cheerful and willing and exhibits courage of the highest order.'
