Military Medal 'While a party was engaged in preparing M.T.M. emplacements in the front line on the 29th January, 1917, the enemy began to heavily shell the trenches. Three of the party were killed and two were wounded. One of the wounded was badly hit, and his life depended on his being got to an aid post as soon as possible These two N.C.O.Us procured a stretcher and with great difficulty, and under heavy shell fire succeeded in getting the wounded man back. Their coolness and courage under difficult circumstances served as a splendid example, and certainly inspired confidence in the remaining members of the Battery.'
