Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during the attack on Le Quesnoy on the 4th November 1918. Mason, when his platoon officer and NCOs became casualties, took charge of the platoon and handled it with great skill. On reaching the objective he worked his Lewis gun round to the Left Flank, shooting down the enemy gunners working a 77mm gun and giving covering fire to the remainder of the Company as they attacked the machine guns in the houses. When digging in on the next objective he exhibited great coolness and did much to hearten his platoon under machine gun fire.'
