Military Medal 'At WESTHOEK on 20th September 1917 this N.C.O. was in charge of a Lewis Gun Section. A large H.E. shell burst almost in his shell-hole putting the gun and all the personnel except LAMBERT, out of action. He lost no time in finding two men who had some knowledge of the gun. he then stripped, cleaned, and reassembled the gun and brought it into action with good effect. This work was performed under what proved to be the heaviest shell fire (hostile) of the day.'
