Military Medal 'At the South West of BELLICOURT during 29th and 30th September 1918, these stretcher bearers [PARKER, 6618 E.E. CALF, 4462 F.C. SKILLER, 3209 A.A. McGOLDRICK, 6674 A.A. WALL, 518 E.J.S. WROTH, 4757 A.J.C. PARKER] displayed conspicuous bravery in carrying wounded across ground exposed to enemy observation and under heavy shell and machine gun fire. Each carry was across the Hindenburg System and owing to the rain making the ground slippery each trip took 3 hours to carry 1000 yards across wire, trenches etc. In spite of numerous casualties amongst the bearers, these men by their endurance, determination and example encouraged the other bearers and in an extraordinarily difficult situation, made the evacuation of wounded possible. Devotion to duty of these men is deserving of special reward.'
