Military Medal 'Near ZONNEBEKE On the morning of 24th September, 1917, Sergeant BRADNEY formed one of a fighting patrol of an Officer and 12 other ranks. One German party of 9 were taken prisoners, and afterwards a fight was put up with an enemy party of 20 or 30 during which he received a bomb wound but carried on for 36 hours until the Medical Officer insisted on evacuating him. He displayed bravery and resource of the highest order and throughout preserved a cheerful mien which was an example and inspiration to his men.'
