Military Medal 'At HOOGE, FRANCE on 20th September, 1917, during the attack on POLYGONVELDE WOOD, Pte. WILLIAMS showed marked devotion to duty. He was frequently called upon to carry messages to Battalion Headquarters through extremely heavy fire and his coolness and determination characterised his action at all times. During the whole operation his services were invaluable and I cannot speak too highly of the work accomplished by this soldier.'
