MILITARY MEDAL— Pte. George Fairey, Northants Regiment son of Mr. Charles Fairey, of Chapel-yard, Irchester, has been awarded the Military Medal for good work in the field.—On September 18th, after a stiff engagement, when the losses were somewhat severe, Pte. Fairey, a runner, succeeded in obtaining valuable, information and in securing a fresh supply of ammunition, which was getting exhausted. He was recommended by his officers for the M.M., which he received a few days ago. Pte. Fairey enlisted on November 13th, 1914, went to Egypt after training, returned to England following an attack of dysentery, and was afterwards sent to France, where he has been serving for over two years, fortunately without a scratch.
