'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty near Hebuterne on 26th May 1918. The enemy put down a barrage on the front line and communication trenches causing severe casualties. Rifleman Edwards, who is a Company Stretcher Bearer, showed remarkable coolness and rendered great service in bandaging the wounded under heavy fire. Although the communication trenches were being heavily bombarded he made several trips through the barrage and succeeded in getting all the wounded out to the regimental aid post.'
