Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during attack on PERONNE on 2nd September 1916. When all except 1 Officer became casualties in the Company this N.C.O. took charge of 2 platoons and carried forward the attack by leading his men through the front wave who were badly shaken by shell fire. His initiative and leadership at a critical moment gave new life to the attack as in the dash forward his platoons captured the Machine Guns which were delaying the advance to the objective, on reaching the objective Sergeant WILLIAMSON showed the greatest skill in consolidating his position in depth and sending out battle patrols to keep touch with the enemy. His work at a most critical moment was of the utmost value to his side.'
