Military Medal 'For gallantry and fine leadership during the counter-attack on the enemy positions near VILLERS-BRETONNEUX on night 24th/25th April 1918. When his Platoon Officer assumed command of the Company and his Sergeant was a casualty, Corporal GILL took charge of the platoon and led his men in the final assault on a very strongly defended machine gun position. The successful capture of the position, which included the capture of several machine guns, was largely due to the splendid example set by this N.C.O. He gave a fine display of bravery under exceptionally trying circumstances.'
