Military Medal 'On the morning of 9th April, 1918, while on duty at a forward test point situated on the crest of the hill between the ANCRE and the SOMME near the brick kilns Sapper T.V. SMITH showed conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty by maintaining telephone lines under heavy shell fire. During the whole of this morning the crest was subjected to heavy shelling, and this Sapper by constantly going out and repairing breaks, maintained a practically continuous service to Batteries, thus keeping Group Headquarters in touch with the Batteries, during a very essential period of the operations.'
