      London Gazette 17 June 1919, p7700, Rec No 3136 For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During the advance east of Le Quesnoy on 4th November 1918, this Soldier was a Brigade Observer, and continuously carried back to Forward Brigade Headquarters messages of the utmost importance. On each occasion he had to travel over exposed ground under heavy machine-gun and shell fire. Pte Cochrane displayed great courage and a total disregard for personal safety. By his devotion to duty he enabled valuable information as to the progress of the front line troops to be expeditiously sent back to Brigade Headquarters. AWMM
