Military Medal 'During the operations near ASSEVILLERS on 29th August 1918. Corporal GRAHAM was the N.C.O. in charge of the Battalion Signallers. When the Battalion advanced he, with two men, put out three thousand yards of cable when the cable ran out. He then salvaged enemy cable and continued on to about 200 yards in front of BARLEUX, when the cable again ran out. Corporal GRAHAM then went on for 1000 yards on to a rise and established communication with the men at the end of the cable, by means of a Lucas Lamp. At this time, being under direct observation, they were subjected to extremely heavy shelling and Machine Gun fire. By Corporal GRAHAM'S resourcefulness the Battalion was able to keep in communication and to send messages direct to Brigade Headquarters right throughout the operation. During the whole of the time he showed great fearlessness and devotion to duty, setting a fine example to his men.'
