Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On the 29th September 1918, near La Vacquerie while acting as Battalion Runner Private Jensen carried important messages at frequent intervals to forward troops through heavy enemy shell and machine-gun fire. His gallantry and tenacity in delivering his messages showed an utter contempt of personal danger. He has done splendid service throughout recent operations.'
