Military Medal 'During the attack on CABARET WOOD FARM in the vicinity of NAUROY on the 29th September, 1918, this N.C.O. who was in charge of his Sections Pack Horses, maintained a constant supply of ammunition to his Section, under very trying and adverse conditions, having to pass repeatedly through heavy enemy Artillery barrages. His conduct throughout the whole operation was admirable, and by his utter disregard for personal danger, no doubt materially assisted the success of our Arms.'
