M.M. London Gazette 29 August 1918.

Edward H. Jones was a native of Ruabon, near Wrexham, Wales, and served with the 13th Battalion, Royal Welsh Fusiliers in France from 1 December 1915. The War Diary shows that Military Medal ribbons were given by the Corps Commander to 14 men on 31 May 1918. From information provided by the Royal Welch Fusiliers Regimental Museum it seems likely that it was given for a successful attack near Albert on 22 April 1918, when sixty prisoners, three machine guns and a light field gun were taken.
