Military Medal 'For gallant conduct during the operations at BROODSEINDE RIDGE, East of YPRES. On the 2nd November 1917 L/Cpl. FLINT was a member of a patrol sent to gain touch with the enemy and was fired on by a hostile Machine Gun, the O.C. patrol being wounded. On 3rd November he volunteered to guide a patrol of one Officer and 20 O.R. sent to capture the post, and when it was rushed was one of the first to reach the objective. His skill in guiding the patrol over very broken country, and the example of determination and courage he set were largely instrumental in the capture of the post.'
