Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During the operations about Bapaume on the 24th August 1918, Lance Corporal Grant with a comrade took up a position with their Lewis gun in an advanced post and although outflanked held on with great determination. These men were the only remaining members of the original Lewis gun crew, nevertheless they continued firing on the enemy and inflicting severe losses until their supply of ammunition became exhausted and they were forced to withdraw.'
