Medals |
Military Medal 'On 29th September 1918 in front of GILLEMONT FARM, when the enemy were causing numerous casualties among our men by bombing along trenches, this Non Commissioned Officer organised a Bombing party and drove the enemy from a commanding position which he had occupied. Sergeant FLOOD then constructed a block in the trench and was instrumental in repelling two strong enemy attempts to take the position. His energy and initiative undoubtedly saved us many casualties and inspired the men with confidence in a very trying situation.'
