MILITARY MEDAL : “On the 28th January, 1917, during the raid on the German trenches, McIntyre was posted as a dresser midway between the subsidiary and front lines. On receiving a message that wounded required attention in the front line, he went forward and rendered valuable assistance in dressing cases under fire. Hearing moaning in No Man’s Land”, he went over the parapet and helped bring a man shot through the head …” (4 March, 1917)
