HAD MEDAL PINNED ON
 BY KING OF ENGLAND

On the Victory relic train serving as a guard only, was a lad who was en- tirely unassuming and modest, but yet had been decorated with British military medal by King George him self. This lad was Arthur Morris of Chelsea, Mass, a boy who went across when the first call came and was bri- gaded with the British as a stretcher bearer and ambulance driver. The hero had very little to say about him. self when the train was in Norwich Thursday, except that he did his duty as he saw it.
 The story is that Arthur Morris went out one dark night to bring in the wounded after retreat made by the British after hard days fighting. He had two com panionS with him. They searched the battlefield but found no one but those who had gone west They were returning to their ambulance and were going through a ravine when a shell exploded. All three were knocked to the ground and when Morris came to his comrades were lying across him. torn by the shell he himself being uninjured. He started to carry one of the campions to the ambulance short distance away when Hun plane made it's ap- pearance and dropped flares and then opened with a machine gun. Morris kept on with his man. putrhim beside the ambulance; and returned for the other. When he had brought him back shell had blownsthe body of the am bulance off. smashed two tires and otherwiseawrecked the machine.
 He looked at the motor, it looked all right, and he tried to start it. but nothing stirring. He looked for his gas tank. It was gone. Morris then set to, thinking all the time the Hun trying to get him with<fhe machine gun. ThereEwas,ppe chance. Heshad two extra cans ofspetrol and he took one, made a hole in it, stuck in a piece of hose from his pump aRnds sattached to the feed pipe He strapped the can on the engine and set to work to start the motor.
