Military Medal Private Yoichi KamakuraPrivate Yoichi Kamakura, #228118 of the 13th Canadian Mounted Rifles to PPCLI to 52nd Battalion Event: 04 July 1917. Awarded: 17 September 1917. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry. He was No.1 of the Lewis Gun crew with the platoon operating on the extremem right flank. He advanced with his platoon, firing his gun from the hip as they advanced, and by his well directed covering fire enabled his platoon to make their way through a mass of heavy and uncut wire, and on reaching the final objective succeeded in inflicting many casualties on the enemy, who were retiring in disorder.Contributed by:
