Editor's Comment:
The citation for Leslie George Carr's MC read as follows:
Supplement to the London Gazette, 26th July 1918:
'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He remained behind with his Lewis gun till his company had taken up a new position, covering the withdrawl and inflicting heavy losses on the enemy at close range. On each occasion, when he rejoined his company, he immediately reorganised and gave battle. During the whole operation he showed great ability and coolness under very difficult conditions.'

Citation for the bar:
Supplement to the London Gazette, 16th September, 1918:

With great skill he then withdrew his men through a gap in the enemy's lines, and succeeded in rejoining the battalion without the loss of a man. (M.C. gazetted 26th July, 1918.)'
