Military Medal 'During operations near FLEURBAIX on 16th September, 1916, Bombardier COURTNEY exhibited commendable courage and devotion to duty. Our parapet in front of the Mortar position was badly breached by enemy artillery fire, and although shells continued to burst in proximity to the mortar - wounding one of the detachment - Bombardier COURTNEY remained at his post inspiring others by his fine example, with the result that the mortar was kept in action and achieved its object.'
