Military Medal 'On 29th September, 1918, during operations South of BONY, Private ATTRIDGE, who was employed as Company Runner, was sent with several messages to Platoons and other Units on the flanks and on the front. On each occasion he had to go through extremely heavy enemy machine gun and shell fire. the night was also very wet and pitch dark, but Private ATTRIDGE successfully carried out his work. When a Platoon became detached from the remainder of the company he volunteered to go out and find them, which he did, and guided them back under heavy enemy fire. During the whole operation his splendid bearing and devotion to duty set a great example to his comrades.'
