Military Medal 'For conspicuous courage during the operations at Villers-Bretonneux. On 26th April, 1918, when all the company stretcher-bearers had become casualties, volunteers were called for and these men immediately responded and without hesitation went out under heavy fire and dressed wounded. They continued dressing and carrying wounded all that day and night and also the following day. They showed a fine example of cheerfulness and endurance, and their work was of very great value.'
