Medals |
Military Medal 'During the attack of the 31st Battalion from WARFUSSE-ABANCOURT on the 8th August 1918 this man did wonderful work as a stretcher bearer. He not only brought in the wounded of our own Battalion, but went out under a deadly machine gun fire to the vicinity of VAUVILLERS, and brought in many wounded cavalry men. During the attack of the 29th Battalion he assisted in bringing in many of their wounded, the work being carried out under exceptionally heavy shell and machine gun fire. Throughout the whole operations he set a wonderful example to all around him by his bravery and devotion to duty.'
