| Medals |
Military Medal 'These men [ELLIOTT, 2341 A.J. McMAHON, 5301 T.P. BOURKE, and 2336 S.R. BOND] are members of a rifle grenade section which did excellent work during the operations on 15th April at LAGNICOURT. The section was advancing through the village when a strong point was discovered in the right of the village - a trench about 20 yards long. They attacked the strong point vigorously and caused the garrison of 25 to surrender. Continuing the advance along a sunken road on the right of the village they came upon a number of the enemy strongly entrenched on a ridge. They immediately attacked the position with rifle grenades, inflicting severe casualties on the enemy and caused the remaining 27 to surrender.'
