Military Medal 'On 29th September, 1918 during operations South of BONY, the Battalion met very strong enemy opposition in the Hindenburg Support line. Private HUNTER who was on the left flank of his Company was first to see the enemy and passed down information as to his disposition. He then pressed ahead of the other men and when within a very few yards of the enemy established a bombing post. He was wounded but would not leave his post. After killing many of the enemy he again went forward and mopped up 50 yards of trench wiping out the position, which allowed the advance to continue.'
