Military Medal 'During the attack near MONT ST. QUENTIN, North East of PERONNE, on September 2nd 1918, this man took a Lewis Gun by himself out to the flank of an enemy post which was causing our advance some trouble. To do this, he bravely passed through heavy machine gun fire. As soon as he got his gun into position, he opened fire, enabling his platoon to again advance. Seeing this, the enemy post surrendered.'
