Military Medal Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 184 Date: Bar to Military Medal 'On the 3rd October, 1918, during the attack on the BEAUREVOIR Line, east of PERONNE, when a company had become isolated and telephonic communication was impossible, this man volunteered to carry an urgent message through a valley which was being continually swept with artillery and machine gun fire, and in full view of the enemy. Due to his determination and total disregard of personal danger, the message was speedily delivered, and he immediately returned to Battalion Headquarters with valuable information as to the progress of the attack and the tactical situation.'
