• Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) AWMM
  Citation for Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM): "On the night of 23-24 October 1942 during the attack on Miteiriya Ridge, Egypt, Lance Sergeant Marshall showed outstanding leadership in urging his platoon forward in the attack and keeping it close up to the artillery barrage. Although wounded, he took over command of the platoon when his commander was wounded and evacuated and by his courage and leadership brought his men safely through a minefield thick with mines, booby-traps and wire and covered with fire by enemy mortars and automatic weapons. He carried on until wounded a second time and throughout the engagement was an inspiration to those who served with him." (London Gazette, 16 January 1943) AWMM
