Military Medal 'On the 8th August, 1918, during the operations on the SOMME, east of HAMEL, Sergeant GRAHAM took command of his Platoon when his Platoon Commander became a casualty, and, in spite of heavy enemy fire, and dense fog, he kept his men well under command, reaching the objective with his Platoon complete in numbers. Throughout the whole operation he set a fine example of courage and initiative which inspired all ranks to do their utmost.'
