Military Medal 'On the 6th September, 1918, during operations East of PERONNE, Sergeant MARRIAN handled his Platoon magnificently, leading them forward to the objective with great skill and coolness, thereby saving casualties despite the extremely heavy enemy Artillery and Machine Gun fire. The valuable information which he collected combined with his tactical handling of his command, was, to a great extent, responsible for the success of the operation on his front. His conduct throughout the whole operation set a splendid example to all ranks, and inspired his men with the greatest confidence.'
