Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in the field on 26th March 1918, north east of Mailly Maillet. When his Platoon Officer and all the N.C.O's became casualties L/C Fraser organised the Platoon under heavy machine gun fire and led them forward capturing the final objective. He again organised the Platoon and consolidated the position.'
Source: 'London Gazette' Date: Bar to Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during a raid on enemy's trench south of Serre Road on the 15th May 1918. This N.C.O was in charge of the left party and owing to shell falling among them and coming under machine gun fire as soon as the party left our trenches they became disorganised. It was only this N.C.O's example and quick decision in altering his dispositions that the party rallied and carried on to the objective. He then led his men through the trench and himself accounted for five of the enemy.'
