Military Medal 'On the 26th August, 1918, at BRAY, Farrier/Sergeant WILLIAMS was in charge of ammunition wagons proceeding to the Battery position. Whilst moving along a road the column came under heavy enemy shell fire, which inflicted casualties to both men and horses. Regardless of personnel danger, this N.C.O. removed the wounded men to a place of safety, returned to the scene of the accident, unhooked the unwounded horses and removed them. During this time the enemy continued the shelling. This N.C.O. displayed conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty, and at the same time set a fine example to the men under his control. He has done continuous good work in connection with the supply of ammunition during the present operations.'
