Medals |
Military Medal 'While acting as Company runner during operations near MORLANCOURT, South West of ALBERT on night 28th/29th July 1918 this man displayed the greatest heroism and devotion to duty. For two days he did magnificent work under the most trying circumstances, making several journeys through heavy enemy fire to Battalion headquarters with important messages at great personal risk. Again, when, during daylight, it was necessary to get an important message re relief to an isolated post, he at once volunteered and succeeded in delivering his message although sniped at several times by the enemy.'
