Military Medal 'This telephonist formed pat of Lieutenant CLARK's forward observing party during the operation east of PONCHAUK on the morning of the 8th October, 1918. While Lieutenant CLARK was moving amongst the companies of the 2nd American Battalion this telephonist was of the greatest assistance in acting as runner. His utter disregard for personal safety and devotion to duty set a splendid example to the troops with whom the Forward observing Officer's party was operating.'
