Legion D'Honneur : Medaille Militaire (France) 'At LAGNICOURT, FRANCE, on the 15th April 1917, Pte. GRAY during the attack by the enemy worked with exceptional courage and devotion attending wounded men under heavy artillery and machine gun fire. On several occasions Pt.e GRAY was seen by the Officer in charge of Companies who launced the counter attack, to move out under extremely heavy fire in view of the enemy and give first aid to our wounded, also carrying them back to a covered position. His conduct throughout this action is deserving of the highest praise and his quick and valuable services undoubtedly saved many lives.'
