Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty at VILLERS CARBONNELL on the evening of the 29th Aug., 1918. As the Battery was withdrawing from action a sudden heavy barrage was placed on the position. The N.C.O. in charge of a gun team was severely wounded, and Dvr GUNN, who was driving lead, had both his horses killed. He immediately uncoupled the dead horses and taking charge withdrew his gun from a very difficult position. His coolness and courage undoubtedly saved further casualties to personnel and team and damage to the gun.'
