Military Medal Citation
'East of HOOGE on the 21st and 22nd September, 1917, L/Cpl. HARRISON was in charge of and organised the Brigade forward party of the 3rd Infantry Brigade and it is entirely due to his continual energy and bravery displayed under heavy shell fire that this party reached its objective. He directed all communications passing through this station during the operation and thus contributed to the success in maintaining communication.'
