Medals |
Military Medal 'For excellent leadership displayed during operations at WESTHOEK on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd October, 1917 during supply of ammunition to the Battery well forward. The roads were continually under heavy fire and although men and horses were hit, these N.C.O.s [BULL and 5482 W. McGEE] continued to guide their parties day and night in order that the Battery could be maintained in action. They all showed a disregard for personal safety and all remained in danger area until the last man of their respective party was safely away before themselves getting clear.'
