Medals |
Military Medal 'On the night of 24th/25th February, 1917, in a raid on the enemy's trench, Sergeant D.H. MOORE showed great coolness and fearlessness in leading his bombers, particularly during a temporary check at the enemy's parapet. On entering the trench he successfully followed up the hostile bombers with energy and determination. Under great difficulty and under heavy fire he carried one of his men who was badly wounded in the enemy's trench back to our lines. Although he arrived in a very exhausted condition he started to go back for another wounded man and had to be prevented from doing so. Sergeant MOORE also participated in a raid on the Railway Salient on the night of 24th/25th December, 1916. The raiding party (drawn from 33rd Battalion) consisted of four Officers and 78 other ranks and entered the German trenches at PONT BALLOT, C.29.a.44.26 on 24th/25th February, 1917.'
