Medals |
Military Medal 'During the operations of this Battalion near BELLICOURT between 29th September/1st October 1918 Sergeant HENDRICK showed much gallantry, courage and powers of leadership. On the 29th September the Left flank of the Battalion was dangerously exposed through a gap having occurred there. Realising the serious position he took forward two Lewis Gun Teams and opened fire on the advancing enemy. The effect of this action was most marked; the flank being effectively protected and the hostile troops driven back in disorder. This was only one instance of Sergeant HENDRICKS valuable services throughout the operations. At all times his coolness and determination set a fine example to the men under him and the bravery and promptness with which he carried out his duties greatly assisted his Company Commander in the whole of the attack.'
