Meritorious Service Medal 'This N.C.O. left AUSTRALIA as a Private in May, 1915, and by continuous good work has raised himself to the rank of Sergeant Steward in May, 1916. He has shown himself to be reliable and capable in the onerous duties of the Quartermasters department and his excellent work has materially assisted in maintaining the efficiency of the Unit. This has been the case especially whilst in the line when the question of transferring stores, equipment and food to the detached bearer parties in the forward area has often been difficult and dangerous. Sergeant LONDON has never spared himself and has always rendered conspicuous service.'
