    AWARDED A BAR TO THE MILITARY CROSS.
    Lt. (T./Capt.) John George Walters Clark, M.C., Lrs.
    For conspicuous galantry and devotion to duty. When all communication with the forward units of the division had broken down during an engagement, he established communication over unknown ground and enabled control to be maintained. On another occasion, when both flanks of the division had been turned and the situation was very obscure, he went forward with orders to the advanced troops. Later, he was largely responsible for a successful withdrawal being carried out in good order. He showed great initiative and resource.
