Military Medal 'At Devil's Valley, Delville Wood: This driver displayed the greatest coolness and courage at a most critical time, under heavy shrapnel fire on the 15th Their team was hit and got into difficulties in the open, the centre driver was wounded, horses
thrown down and vehicles thrown into a shell hole. The wounded driver was carried clear and horses extricated got clear. This act, under the circumstances I consider especially deserving of recognition, as they all displayed the utmost
courage, and by their act showed a splendid example to the other drivers.'
