Medals |
Military Medal 'On the morning of the 15th April 1917 when the 43rd Battery was in position near LONGATTE, heavy hostile shelling severed all communication from Battery to both Brigade Headquarters and O.Ps., and though a heavy barrage was being kept up round the Battery, this Non Commissioned Officer went through it three times repairing the wire. Failing to maintain same, he worked again through the fire and "tapped in", thereby keeping in touch with Brigade Headquarters until the situation quietened.'
