Military Medal citation.P/80 SERGEANT A H TAYLOR20 INFANTRY DIVISON MILITARY MOUNTED POLICEOn the 28th, 29th and 30th March 1918, for thirty-six hours continuously, the above mentioned NCO rendered invaluable services in keeping the line and taking back into the line, stragglers of several Divisions, scattered by heavy shell fire coming down at the time. This work was carried out at great personal risk, under very heavy shell fire and exceptionally difficult circumstances, with an untiring energy and devotion to duty which were above all praise. There is no doubt that by their bravery and energy A/SSM Lelliott, Sergeants Taylor and Ashdowne kept the line before Domart supplied with valuable reinforcements, which may have averted very serious consequences.Recommended for MM by APM 20th DivisionP/5 A/SSM A H Lelliott was awarded the MSM LG 30750 Dated17 June 1918 Page7155P/5266 Sergeant W T Ashdowne was awarded the MSM LG 31132 Dated 18 January 1919 Page 1015.From History of the Provost Marshal and CMP, page 86, dated 1942. |
