Military Medal citation: "On 31st August 1917 east of Ypres, Gunner B.H. Ranger was in action with a gun of his Battery. This gun was ordered to fire on Beck House. Gunner Ranger in company with Gunner C.H. Nelson received orders to keep the telephone lines in working order. In spite of a very heavy hostile bombardment from 8", 5.9", and 4.2" shells he kept the wires in repair at very great personal risk and total disregard of danger and thus insured the success of the operation. The hostile shelling on this area was most intense." (Awarded 29 September 1917)
