Military Medal 'On the night of 26th/29th May, 1917, in a raid on the enemy's trenches at ST. YVES, Private HULL was the leading bayonet man, and showed great dash and courage in leading the attack along the hostile trench. After the order to withdraw was given, he remained with his Officer who was superintending the blowing up of a dugout. A German unexpectedly appeared and rushed 2nd Lieutenant CAMPBELL who had lost his revolver. HULL immediately engaged this man and bayoneted him. His coolness and promptness undoubtedly saved the life of his Officer whom the German attempted to bayonet.'
