Military Medal 'On the 7th June, 1917, during ythe offensive operation against the enemy trenches, this man acted as Telephone Linesman with the F.O.O. "J" Group, Lieutenant R.J.G. LIPP. After the lines had been run out to the forward observing position selected, telephone communication could not be maintained for a considerable time, owing to the very heavy hostile shell fire, which constantly cut the wire. This man patrolled the line during the whole time, under very heavy shell fire, mending innumerable breaks and finally establishing communication. He has previously done exceptionally good work under fire.'
