Military Medal near LE VERGUIER September 18th, 1918. When the Telegraph lines were cut by enemy shell fire, HUNTER brought an important message back through a heavy barrage. Later he volunteered to act as a guide for ammunition mules, and in spite of the heavy bombing and shelling, he successfully brought the ammunition through the darkness to its destination. His great cheerfulness and willingness set a splendid example.'
