MILITARY MEDAL (GVR). 1322 E.W.Challis 13/Aust L.H.R. Impressed. Very fine.

Edmund Wilkinson Challis. Enl.13Jul1915. M.M. C.G.17Jun1919. 'For Gallantry in action and devotion to duty. During the operations east of Peronne on the 6th and 7th September 1918, Sergeant Challis was in charge of a flank guard liason patrol working between the 42nd Battalion and the left flank troops. In spite of very heavy machine gun and artillery fire, he continued to keep up a supply of timely information and repeatedly cleared up hazy situations at great personal risk. From his information we were enabled to pin-point the line of flank troops and make our dispositions conform, and the cheerful and thorough manner in which he performed his task contributed largely to the success of our left company'. With some research.
