Military Medal 'On the morning of the 29th September, 1918, when in charge of men on forward roads to the West of BONY, Sergeant A.K. MOLLISON, when under heavy enemy shell and Machine gun fire, and when the advance was greatly disorganised and hampered by a smoke barrage put up by the enemy, did much to reorganise parties of Americans who were scattered about, also in mopping up several small enemy Posts. By his courage and coolness, and his initiative in a very critical situation, he set a very fine example to all the troops who were in the vicinity, and his action did much to help a critical situation.'
