Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During the advance on the 23rd October 1918, Private Robson, a Company Stretcher bearer, worked with untiring energy the whole time. With a total disregard for his own safety he took wounded men to safety again and again. On the 24th October, at Beaudigines, he repeatedly brought wounded through the village during heavy shelling. His example was
inspiring to all.'
