MM: LG.7Jul1917. 'At McCormack's Post on 30th October, 1916, and on 2nd November, 1916, L/Cpl M.Marlow was in charge of a party of stretcher bearers and displayed bravery of a high order with marked devotion to duty. He handled his party admirably, leading them coolly under heavy shell fire. He was a very great help to his officers and showed skill and attention to the wounded.' Bar to MM: LG. 17Nov1917. Originally recommended for D.C.M. but altered to above. 'On the night of 14th/15th May 1917, a number of wounded were lying unattended to in the neighbourhood of Noreuil. In spite of a heavy barrage of H.E. and gas shells, this N.C.O., with the greatest coolness and courage, went to their help. He assisted in adjusting gas masks and dressings and helped to carry the wounded to a place of safety. Throughout he was subjected to a continuous shower of shells and his gallant conduct was certainly a big factor in the saving of lives of those whom he assisted.
