Military Medal 'During the operations in the vicinity of BELLICOURT on the 29th September, 1918 this soldier displayed very conspicuous bravery. The locality in which he was waiting with his Section pending orders to advance was being heavily shelled and swept by machine gun fire with the result that a number of our troops and Americans became casualties. Private BELLETT, with a total disregard for his personal safety, under heavy shell and machine gun fire rendered first aid to the wounded which could not have been obtained otherwise for some hours owing the scarcity of stretcher bearers. This soldier's work throughout the whole series of operations leading up the the capture of the Hindenburg Line has been very brilliant and of a high standard.'
