Miss Davies, Woodcote, and Miss Davips, Llwynteg- deserve great praise for the tune they devoted to the training of the members and candidates in their differ- ent parts, but the success of the entertain- ment itself is a sufficient criterion of their abilities in this directon. The members of the Mother's Union, as well as the young ladies who assisted them, are to be compli- mented too on the excellency of their tea.

Fortune, John-street, has been a.warded the Military Medal. and has since been promoted company-sergeant-major, i This gallant N.C.O. won the M.M. for con- spicuous gallantry and devotion to duty, and the deeds are described as f ollows:- "While being heavily bombed at Le Queend at dusk on 11th August this N.C.O. refused to leave his tank which he was repairing, and take cover, although the remainder of the crew had been ordered to an adjacent dugout. The bombing at this point was so heavy that a large number of men and horses were killed, and it was entirely due to Sergeant Fortune that this tank was able to carry up supplies urgently required that night. Ajain at MeaQIt on 22nd August his tank received a direct hit from a shell wounding two of the crew. Although under intense shell fire he and the remaining number of the crew affected temporary repairs and succeeded in bringing his tank to safety, a distance of rly four arita. He undoubtedly saved the tank from being completely destroyed and set a magnificent eacaaaple of devotion to duty." TALOG.
