Medals |
Military Medal 'Under heavy shell and machine gun fire these two N.C.O.s continuously exposed themselves in the open, in order to maintain communication and guide the party through the series of shell craters which it was necessary to pass in order to reach the objective. These N.C.O.s [BROWN and 4538 A.M. MUIR] undoubtedly by their devotion to duty saved considerable loss of time and material, and enabled the party to get through almost intact. Near MOUQUET FARM on the 3rd September, 1916.'
