BRITISH WAR MEDAL 1914-18. 1940 Cpl A.L.Fraser 8 Bn A.I.F. Impressed. Very fine.

Albert Leopold Fraser. Enl.15Jan1915 R.T.A.14Dec1918. Entitled to Military Medal with 60th Infantry Battalion C.G.: No.110 25Jul1918 'For conspicuous bravery and initiative during a raid on July Farm, east of Wytschaete on the night of 13th/14th March 1918. This N.C.O. accompanied Lieut Moore and helped him to get the men into position. When the barrage lifted he was one of the first to enter the enemy's and received the prisoners from Lieut Moore. During the whole action he showed a daring and disregard for his own personal safety which was a distinct encouragement to the men and of great assistance to 2/Lieut Moore. He stayed behind with 2/Lieut Moore and helped this officer to carry in a wounded man under heavy machine gun fire. His work in helping with the organisation of the party and in the training previous to the raid went far to ensure its ultimate success'. He is listed as a recipient of the MM in the 'Story of the Fifth Australian Division' on p418.
