Military Medal 'During operations east of PROYART ON 23rd/26th August, 1918, Private FOX and Private CARNELL showed great courage and utter disregard of personal safety while acting as Stretcher Bearers. All their work was done over Machine Gun swept flats, where no cover whatever for at least 800 to 900 yards was available. During the initial advance when their company sustained casualties from Machine Gun fire they tended the wounded in the open and repeatedly carried them over this ground to the R.A.P.'
