Medals |
Military Medal 'On the night of the 27th August, 1916, at about 9 p.m. when in charge of a horse ambulance wagon awaiting patients at CASUALTY CORNER (BAILIFF WOOD) heavy shell fire was opened by the enemy on that spot. Driver KAMMERMAN was standing at his horses heads at the time. The horses which were terrified and maddened by the shells, and one of which was wounded, broke away and raced down the road, KAMMERMAN ran after them, succeeded in catching them up and controlling them, at great personal risk to himself, both from shell fire and plunging horses, and returned with them to CASUALTY CORNER. The whole incident happened under heavy shell fire.'
