Gnr Finlay McCay (Silvan), 12th Field Artillery Brigade: Is wounded in action, gas poisoning, and is evacuated to hospital in England.
Spr Reginald Lyons (Olinda), 3rd Divisional Signal Company: Is awarded the Military Medal for his actions on this day. His recommendation states: ‘Near Chuignolles on 22nd/23rd August, 1918, Sapper Lyons, as a linesman at the Divisional report centre, was responsible for maintaining the line to the left Division which was under continuous shellfire. On the night of 22nd, just previous to the operation, when communication to the left was of the utmost importance, this man was out alone on the line for eight hours, repairing breaks under heavy shell fire. It was owing to his courage and untiring energy that the line was kept in a serviceable condition throughout the operation’.
Pte Francis Webster (Lilydale), 23rd Battalion: Is awarded the Military Medal for his actions on this day. His recommendation states: ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During the attack west and north of Bray on 22nd August, 1918, this soldier, although wounded, refused to leave his gun until the completion of his task. Finally, when his wounds had been attended to, he returned to his gun team, until he was again wounded during the operation west of Bray on the 24th August, 1918. He thereby set his comrades a splendid example of tenacity and endurance.’
