Military Medal
During operations near ZOENEBEKE east of YPRES from 30th Sept. to 10 Oct. 1917, Pte. VALE on many occasions carried urgent messages to and from the front line. This was done over the most difficult of ground. On one occasion when all communications were out and the enemy's shelling was very heavy, Pte. VALE volunteered and was successful in getting situation reports from the front line to Battalion Headquarters thus enabling reports to be sent to Brigade Headquarters. Pte. VALE'S willingness and ability in taking messages was admired by all who witnessed his work.

For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty.
