Military Medal 'At about 7 p.m. on August 10th, 1918, during operations East of AMIENS a report was received at the Regimental Aid Post of the 17th Australian Infantry Battalion that all the stretcher bearers of one Company of the Battalion has become casualties. At once Private DUGGLEBY organised a squad of bearers to proceed through the village of FRAMERVILLE which was being heavily shelled with Gas and H.E. at the time. His squad proceeded right to the front line and at considerable risk managed to evacuate the casualties. These stretcher bearers were slightly effected by the Gas as they passed through the village, but, nevertheless, they carried on until all the wounded were evacuated. This man's gallantry, cheerfulness and absolute disregard of danger were a splendid example to the remaining bearers.'
