Military Medal

'Forward of PROYART on 23rd and 24th August, 1918, 2/Corporal CURROW after preliminary reconnaissance through ST. MARTINS WOOD during its capture was despatched to the rear to bring up wiring and carrying parties.

His skill and judgment in bringing parties through heavy artillery barrage and Machine Gun fire lessened casualties. He rendered valuable assistance in reconnoitring the position and his coolness and disregard of danger under heavy shelling and Machine Gun fire set a fine example to his party.

His sound judgment undoubtedly saved his party casualties and enabled them to complete their work.'
