Military Medal 'During the operations at MONTBREHAIN, east of PERONNE, on the morning of 5th October, 1918, this man acted as a stretcher bearer and in the face of violent machine gun and shell fire cared for the wounded with unremitting zeal. He frequently left his place of shelter and with utter disregard of danger dressed and carried out the wounded. For twelve hours he worked without rest and to his utter contempt of the heaviest enemy shelling and machine gun fire many of his comrades owe their lives.'
