M.M. Commonwealth of Australia Gazette 21.8.1917. Recommendation states 'While a party was engaged in preparing M.T.M. emplacements in the frontline on 29 January 1917, the enemy began to heavily shell the trenches. Three of the party were killed and two were wounded. One of the wounded was badly hit and his life depended on him being got to an Aid Post as soon as possible. These two N.C.Os procured a stretcher and with great difficulty, and under heavy shell fire, proceeded in getting the wounded man back. Their coolness and courage under difficult circumstances served as a splendid example, and certainly inspired confidence in the remaining members of the Battery'.

Corporal Raymond Everard Street, M.M., enlisted in August 1915 and was discharged in March 1919.
