Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry on the 9th day of August 1918 at LIHONS. During the attack this soldier and a Sergeant, after locating an anti-tank battery which was greatly hindering the advancing troops, crawled forward a distance of two hundred yards, and in the face of heavy Machine Gun and rifle fire succeeded in rushing and capturing the battery and killing the eight German gunners. Later in the day, with one other rank he went foward and captured a hostile Machine Gun together with the crew of three men. He greatly inspired the men around him by his bravery and coolness. During a further advance next day this gallant soldier was badly wounded.'
