Alan would have been entitled to the Victory Medal, the 1914-15 Star and also the British War
Medal. These three medals were sometimes irreverently known as Pip, Squeak and Wilfred.
It is probable that Alan was involved in the Final Advance in Artois continuing the advance in the
Artois region liberating the French coalfields Lens and Douai.
