Military Medal 'On the morning of the 31st August, 1918, in the attack on MONT ST. QUENTIN this N.C.O. showed great resource and initiative in taking charge of 4 guns and 20 men after the Officer and Sergeant had become casualties. Corporal Falkingham his own initiative took all 4 guns forward to their objective through a very heavy enemy barrage. He placed his guns so as to form a strong support to the front line and at the same time to protect the flanks which were quite open to the enemy, thereby closing what would have been a serious breach in the defence and making the position secure. he reconnoitred the whole front under fire in the coolest and bravest manner, siting the guns personally.'
