Military Medal 'At the Grid Trench, north West of Flers on the 27th September, this private, who is
a stretcher bearer, proceeded with his company to the front line trenches where
the casualties had been very heavy. He went out into the open time after time to
bring in wounded men who were lying in the open, where there was still very
heavy machine-gun fire at the time, and he undoubtedly saved the lives of many
men who would other wise have been killed. He displayed great bravery and was
quite regardless of danger, and his example had a markedly steadying effect on the
other men in the vicinity.'
