Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry while in action near VILLERS BRETONNEUX on 4th May, 1918. This N.C.O. was in charge of a patrol sent out to locate an enemy post which was causing trouble. Coming under heavy machine gun fire, the patrol was dispersed, Lance Sergeant SCOTT although wounded himself, realising that the enemy may get identification from his wounded comrade, dragged him for some distance until, finally becoming too weak he returned for assistance and, refusing to have his own wound dressed, until he led back the stretcher party and rescued his comrade. The conduct of this soldier was then, and has always been, a source of inspiration and a splendid example to his men.'
