D.C.M. London Gazette 3 June 1918:

'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When the battery position was heavily shelled for about two hours, the men having no task at the time, were ordered to a flank. This N.C.O., without orders, releived the telephonist on duty, and remained at the post until all communications were hopelessly cut. The telephone dug-out was not splinter-proof.'

Frank Doughty is entitled to a Pair only.
