Military Medal 'Throughout the operations commencing with the advance from VILLERS-NBRETONNEUX, the attack on PERONNE and the recent operations opposite the HINDENBERG LINE, this N.C.O. has consistently assisted in the success of our operations by his continued devotion to duty and supreme contempt for danger. The example he has set at all times, even though under most adverse circumstances, has no doubt inspired his men to greater efforts.'
