Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during the operations 24th/25th April 1918 near VILLERS BRETONNEUX. In the counter-attack on night 24th/25th April 1918 he commanded a platoon of his Company 2 assaults on enemy machine gun positions both of which were successful, and by silencing these guns the advance was enabled to be carried through almost to the final objective. Whilst consolidating the position an enemy barrage was put down and Corporal AYLOTT gave valuable assistance to the only remaining Officer of the Company in rallying the men and keeping them to their difficult task of digging in under fire.'
