Stebie9173 Posted 3 March , 2006 Share Posted 3 March , 2006 London Gazette 26-7-1918 Awarded the Military Cross T./Capt. Frederick Arthur Pickles, Manch. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when, his company being heavily attacked, he dealt with the situation with much coolness and skill, reconnoitring a sunken road, and ascertaining the exact position of the enemy, thus bringing his fire most effectively to bear. http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/archiveVi...&selHonourType= Seems very much like a March Offensive award.
