Military Medal 'In the neighbourhood and forward of Zonnebeke during the period October 31 to November 4, 1917, Pte Hampson was in charge of the squad responsible for evacuating wounded from the forward positions to the mud, the persistent shelling with high explosive and gas, and the long carry made the work physically and mentally trying in the extreme. Pte Hampson showed most noteworthy devotion to duty, courage and cheerfullness and find physical endurance. He volunteered repeatedly to bring in stretcher cases in the night from difficult positions and successfully carried through a number of urgent cases, thereby undoubtedly most materially assisting saving their lives. Pt. Hampson's demeanor throughout was in the highest degree creditable and the finest example to his comrades.' Recommendation date: |
