Military Medal, G.V.R. (1498 Pte., 8/R.W. Kent R.) very fine £240-280

M.M. London Gazette 9 December 1916.

Almost certainly an award for bravery on the Somme, not least in the action fought by the 8th Battalion on the last day of August 1916, when a determined enemy attack was repulsed at Delville Wood.
