Medals |
Military Medal 'East of YPRES on 20th September 1917, this man acted as a connecting file between the left Battalion which lost direction rather badly at one stage, and maintained touch by acting as a valuable guide to the Left Flank of the 5th Battalion ground on which there was no outstanding feature. Later he colunteered as a Stretcher Bearer and rendered valuable services in taking wounded men to the rear when the Medical arrangements were weak. He is a valuable man and worthy of recognition.'
