Military Medal 'During the operations from 22nd August to 26th August, 1918, east of BRAY, this N.C.O. was responsible for the maintenance of telephonic communication within the Battalion Area. Owing to heavy shell fire wires were most frequently broken. On very many occasions when a break occurred, this N.C.O. went forward in heavy shell and machine gun fire and repaired the breaks. Owing to his gallant conduct telephonic communication was maintained throughout the whole of the operations, which enabled the Battalion Commander to keep in touch with all phases of the attack.'
