Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in action near Le Quesnoy on the 31st October 1918. This NCO was in charge of a forward post of 6 men. During the day a raid was carried out from his post, and later the enemy counter attacked in
considerable strength. Corporal O?Halloran controlled the fire of his gun with great
coolness and determination with the result that the attack was completely beaten off. Two men in the post with him were wounded. A little later the enemy again counter attacked covered by considerable machine gun fire, yet, with his remaining men, Corporal O'Halloran again forced the enemy to retire. He displayed the greatest courage and ability as a leader throughout the day.'
