known 3rd October 1918
Roy was awarded the Military Medal for actions on October 3, 1918, two days before he was severely wounded at Montbrehain. The citation read: During the attack on Beaurevoir line North of St Quentin on the 3rd October 1918, this NCO had charge of a section of road to be cleared and opened up for advance of the artillery. Despite persistent shell-fire and danger of falling debris from buildings, he cleared the road through the village, allowing the awaiting artillery to proceed. His coolness and determination were a fine inspiration to his men until he was severely wounded.
