Medals |
Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On the 9th October 1917 East of YPRES near the HANNEBEKE, this Driver was carrying ammunition to his Battery, by pack transport, under heavy shell fire. He was blown over several times by the concussion but continued his work and delivered his ammunition. He was very badly shaken and was kept under medical observation, but he would not report sick until his Battery was withdrawn from the line when he had to be sent immediately to the Field Ambulance. Throughout the operations from September 10th to 25th October 1917 this Driver has never hesitated in his task of taking up ammunition to his Battery by day or night regardless of heavy shell fire and by his fearlessness has set a splendid example to his comrades.'
