Medals |
Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On 21st October, 1917, when in charge of six S.S. wagons carrying ammunition between the dumps south east of YPRES (near MOATED GRANGE) a heavy fire was put down on the road, killing one driver and wounding two others, also two mules - all of the same team. Corporal SELLICK handed over his own horse to another lead driver and unhooked the two disabled mules. He sent the wounded men to a dressing station, got into the vacant saddle as lead driver himself, and completed his task. The work of this N.C.O. throughout the recent operations has always been of the highest character.'
