Medals |
Military Medal 'This man is a member of the Scouting Platoon and once more displayed great courage in firstly scouting in No Man's Land in the right centre of the line of attack; secondly, he assisted to put out tapes marking the jumping off positions; thirdly, in patrolling No Man's Land in front of our lines before the attack was launched, and after the attacking parties had withdrawn to our lines. The last named act required great courage as it was though at the time that the German counter attack was being pushed right up to our lines. This is the second time that this man has been brought under notice for his gallantry and devotion to duty. This man was wounded when patrolling in No Man's Land on the occasions referred to. He is recommended for distinction. Period, 29th/30th August, 1916, north of POZIERES.'
