Military Medal Source: 'London Gazette' No. Date: Bar to Military Medal 'These two N.C.O.s [CLARK and 1569 Mark JONES] were in command of detachments holding the right flank. When the majority of my Officers became casualties, three only of those that went over the top came out, these two N.C.O.s took command and helped to consolidate the right flank. During the counter attack on my right flank on the 3rd they did excellent work, in fact, during the whole of the period whilst they were there, by their behaviour they set an example of duty to the men under them. Sergeant CLARKE has been awarded the Military Medal for conspicuous gallantry during a last action, and I beg to recommend both these N.C.O.s for some distinction.'
