Military Medal 'On the 11th October 1917, whilst at MIDDLE FARM Dump, near GREY RUIN about 4000 yards North East of YPRES, this N.C.O. rescued two Officers viz;- Major A.V. MEEHAN, 9th Field Ambulance, and Captain H.F. DUNSTAN, 11th Field Ambulance, and also one Private whose identity has not been ascertained. These Officers were looking for a position for a Dressing Station when they were wounded, Farrier Sergeant CLARKE rushed away some distance through shell fire, and got a rescue party together, and succeeded in getting the wounded persons out of the shelled zone. Almost immediately afterwards MIDDLE FARM Dump was being shelled, and Farrier Sergeant CLARKE, by his coolness and energy, succeeded in getting the Pack animals clear, which were crowded at the Dump, without casualties being inflicted.'
