Silver Medal (Serbia) Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 169 Date: Military Medal 'On night of 29th/30th August, 1916, near POZIERES several men of B Company were wounded in a listening post in front of our line. All but Private HARDING were brought in although several attempts were made which failed owing to Private HARDINGS weight and the slippery nature of the ground. Private McEWAN then volunteered to bring in this wounded man and, in spite of very heavy shell fire, succeeded. Later on in the night when 40 yards of our front line trench had been blown in, McEWAN volunteered to go through the barrage to establish touch with the next Company; this he succeeded in doing. McEWAN's conduct and example, in keeping up the spirits of his comrades under very trying circumstances, was conspicuous.'
