Medals |
Military Medal 'On 6th September, 1918, during operations East of PERONNE, Corporal PATTISON, who was in charge of the Scout Section, kept in constant touch with the enemy although continually exposed to heavy enemy Machine Gun and rifle fire. He collected and passed back much valuable information, and was also of great assistance in keeping touch with our companies on the flanks. When his Company stretcher-bearers had become casualties he helped to attend to the wounded under exceptionally heavy shell fire at great personal risk. His courage and devotion to duty throughout the day were of the highest order and won the admiration of all ranks.'
