Military Medal 'While watching the flank of a squadron which was attacking an enemy column retiring from LUDD on the 15th November, 1917, this N.C.O. observed some enemy infantry escaping to a flank and with two men galloped two mils and intercepted and captured 20 enemy and brought them in spite of being under heavy shell fire all the time. This N.C.O.'s coolness and ability during a critical situation set a splendid example to all other ranks.'
