Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Military Medal

'During the attack East of FRAMERVILLE, near AMIENS, on the morning of the 11th August 1918, these two signallers [FOGARTY and 6547 Charles COLEMAN] passed through a gap in the line during the mist, and came upon an enemy strong point while carrying their rifles slung. They at once dropped their signalling gear and attacked the post. capturing 12 prisoners and 4 machine guns. After handing over their prisoners, they returned and completed the task upon which they set out.'
