Meritorious Service Medal

'For consistently good work as runner from 25th February to 16th September, 1918. Private WORMALD has at all times been most accurate in finding his way and is one of the first to volunteer for the most arduous and dangerous tasks. He sets a splendid example to his comrades.'
