D.C.M. London Gazette, 3 June 1919; citation published 11 March 1920:
‘For consistent gallantry and devotion to duty while acting as signaller, particularly during the period 17 September to 11 November 1918. The splendid example he set his comrades by his fearlessness in always volunteering for dangerous work in the communications between brigade headquarters and batteries under the heaviest shell fire and most trying conditions was most praiseworthy.’

Harry Grundy attested into the Royal Artillery for service during the Great War and served on the Western Front initially with them, before transferring to the Royal Engineers and serving with the 42nd East Lancashire Divisional Signalling Company.
