Medals |
Military Medal 'In the advance near ZONNEBEKE on 26th September, 1917, Corporal BRANDT was in charge of a party of 20 detailed to carry Stokes Mortar ammunition with the assaulting waves. This he did through heavy fire. Then, hearing that S.A.A. and grenades were required, led his men back through the barrage and returned with the ammunition. He then carried R.E. stores and water from the dump in rear to the front line (a distance of 1500 yards) making six trips each way. His untiring energy and the force of his example were of the utmost assistance.'
