I brought her case before the notice of the military authorities, and General Seely was asked to take the matter up and make an application to the King for a reward for the girl's bravery.

There was a doubt as to what award could be given to her.

We got the sworn testimony of the Mayor and other eye-witnesses, and the document was finally laid before the King.

It was decided that she should receive the bronze medal of the Order of St.John of Jerusalem.

Later on General Alderson sent for me and took me to the Mayor's house in Romarin, where we had the ceremony of conferring the medal.
