Medals |
Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry during the operations near ZONNEBEKE, East of YPRES. On the morning of 7th November, while the Bn. transport was conveying rations to Bn. Headquarters it was subjected to heavy shell fire, which caused severe casualties both in men and horses and consequent disorganisation. L/Cpl. PATTISON, although wounded, collected a number of the animals took them forward and delivered the rations, enemy shelling being heavy the whole time. Had it not been for this N.C.O.'s cool and gallant conduct, the Bn. in the line would have been without rations for 24 hours.'
