Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On the 29th October 1917 the wagon lines of the 38th Battery (South East of YPRES) were heavily shelled. Undeterred by the heavy shell fire, Gunner E.J. HAYWARD removed a wounded comrade to a place of safety and then returned and removed five horses from the shelled area. His gallant conduct undoubtedly saved the life of his comrade and some valuable horses and was also a splendid example to all ranks in the vicinity.'
