Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and daring in action. In the attack near Le Quesnoy on the morning of the 4th November 1918 Jenkins and Craven as Battalion Runners were sent out with an important message to a Flank Company. The Company could not be found and these runners came under fire of an enemy machine-gun post at close range. Without hesitation both runners rushed the gun killing two of the enemy and wounding one with their revolvers, taking the remaining 4 of the crew back as prisoners and capturing the gun. They reported back to Battalion Headquarters with their prisoners and said the Company could not be located.'
