Military Medal 'As a runner Private LOWE did especially good work on the morning of the 21st September, 1918, in the HARGICOURT sector, going forward through snipers fire and a heavy shell barrage, to locate a Stokes Mortar in the front line. Knowing the gun was short of ammunition, he voluntarily carried a load of Stokes bombs forward with him, a distance of 1000 yares, and delivered them to the gun. His courage and devotion to duty at all times has set the finest example to the Unit.'
