Military Medal 'For extreme gallantry and devotion to duty, on 18th September 1918 near Le Verquier North West St. Quentin. No. 34218 Sapper Noel Pryde, in the attack of the 18th September 1918, under heavy shell fire from the enemy helped to establish and maintain telephonic communication between Artillery Brigade headquarters and Batteries, thereby retaining communication at a time when artillery support was essential. His coolness and utter disregard of personal danger during the whole day was highly commendable and was a fine example to his comrades. His work was carried out untiringly, even when others were exhausted.'
