Military Medal 'At ARMENTIERES, on the night of the 13th/14th March, 1917, Sergeant ANDREWS was a member of a raiding party. Throughout the raid he displayed great courage, moving about amongst his men and keeping his party organised under a very heavy enemy barrage. After the raiders had been forced to return, Sergeant ANDREWS went out into No Man's Land, under a heavy machine gun fire, on no less than (3) three occasions, and asssisted in bringing in wounded and dead men. During the whole operation he set a fine example to his men by his coolness and courage.'
