Military Medal 'Is recommended for gallant conduct and devotion to duty as a linesman in the operations near ZONNEBEKE on the 26th September, 1917. It is to the linesmen that the credit is due for the excellence of the signal communication throughout the advance. Out on the lines continuously under the heaviest shell fire and through the fiercest barrages McEVOY did all that was humanly possible to keep the wires going. On occasions he established "test stations" by "tapping in" along the route and waiting in shell holes. His brave and skilful work calls for very high recommendation.'
