Military Medal 'While in charge of the Battalion Limbers bringing up rations and supplies during the operations near MORLANCOURT, South West of ALBERT on 29th July 1918, the enemy put down a very heavy barrage which lasted from 10.15 p.m. to 5 a.m. next morning. Corporal FOX showed great initiative and personal bravery in guiding his limbers through the barrage and delivering his load safely at its destination. While returning one of his limbers was hit by a shell and the wounded and maddened mules ran away. Corporal FOX at once put his remaining limber in a place of safety and galloped after the mules, finally securing them and bringing them back to the limber, which he repaired under very heavy shell fire, and was ultimately successful in getting back to the Transport Lines notwithstanding the heavy barrage.'
