Medals |
Military Medal 'For most conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. As a company runner he did magnificent work throughout the operation, continuously carrying messages through most intense Machine Gun and Artillery Fire. For a short period the Company lost touch on the left flank and Private GREENHALGH went out by himself and established communication thus clearing up the situation. He was severely wounded while carrying a message but he staggered on and delivered his message before he fell. His gallantry and devotion to duty is specially worthy of mention.'
