864 Lieutenant Corporal Samuel Riley Military Medal Army 18th Division 80th Field Company Royal Engineers My father, Samuel Riley was awarded his M. M. at Thiepval on the 26th of September 1916 for "Gallant conduct and devotion to duty in the field" by Major General F. J. Maxse, Commanding Officer 18th Division at the battle of Thiepval. My Father was a L/Cpl. in the 80th Field Company Royal Engineers. He died some years ago and I have his medals. Like most of his colleagues he would not talk about his experiences. I would very much like to find out the reason for the award of his medal. Can anyone help?.
