Serjeant J SUTTON, G/4266, Queens Own Royal West Kent Regiment. (Mansfield).

For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in a raid on the enemy's trenches. Having reached his objective in the enemy's support line, he saw a machine gun about to open fire on another party which had been slightly delayed by the enemy's wire. He at once attacked it with one man, put the whole detachment out of action, and captured the gun, thereby saving several casualties. His coolness and courage were a splendid example to his men.
