| Citation: | Frances. L/Cpl (A/Sgt). On the 28th, 29th and 30th March, 1918, for thirty-six hours continuously, the above mentioned NCO's rendered invaluable services in keeping in 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 Lelliot, Sergts. Taylor and Ashdown kept the line before Domart supplied with valuable reinforcements, which may have averted very serious consequences.Recommended MM by APM 20th Division. |
