INDENTMilitary Cross London Gazette 9.1.1918 T/Lieutenant R.E. "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty as Brigade Signaller. When the communications had been cut by hostile shell fire and the brigade signallers were unable to get along the line to repair it, he called for a volunteer, and with his aid laid a new line across the shelled area, thus re-establishing communications. This gallant action saved a critical situation, as this line was the only means of communication available for a considerable time. His coolness and courage under fire has on all occasions afforded a splendid example to the brigade signallers."

Lieutenant Samuel Hart M.C., took part in operations in Darfur 1916 (Mentioned in Despatches); promoted from the ranks 10 February 1917; took part in operations in the Sudan against the Lau Nuers, 1917, and in the Nyima Hills, Nuba Mountains Province, 1917-18
