(Recommended for Military Medal)
At FONQUEVILLERS on the night of the 7th December 1916 this N.C.O. displayed great courage and initiative. On a sentry reporting that he had seen six Germans enter our trench, he immediately sent one man to his Platoon commander for support, and he, with Pte. Wilkinson ran along the trench until they reached the party. They opened fire on the Germans, Pte. Wilkinson firing over Sgt. Hall's shoulder, and cleared the trench and one, German being killed and two wounded.
