Military Medal 'During the attack on the 9th August 1918 South of FRAMERVILLE, near AMIENS, this man's Company met with heavy casualties. He was acting as stretcher bearer. Time after time he went out bandaging and carrying wounded men under a heavy enemy barrage of shell and machine gun fire, and it was mainly through his efforts that the whole of the wounded on his sector were cleared before nightfall.'
