Citation for Military Medal (MM) For Bravery in the Field:
"For great gallantry and exceptionally good work on Aug: 14th 1917. He led a patrol of four other ranks into the German line in an endeavor to capture one of the enemy and obtain an identification. he encountered an enemy patrol of nine other ranks which he engaged and drove back in a bomb encounter. He followed them up and waited inside the wire until practically daylight. When he returned to our lines, Sjt. Garlick in successfully attacking a patrol nearly twice as large as his own showed great skill and initiative, and has earned the respect and admiration of all his men."
(LG 19-11-17). Henry Garlick was killed four days later at Hill 70.
