Mention in Despatches

"Lieutneant FLETCHER has done exceptionally good general work ever since his appointment to a commission in his company.  He has displayed an absolute disregard of danger and has handled working parties well under heavy fire.  His reports expecially have been always thoroughly reliable, having more than once cleared up very uncertain situations, and so proved of great value."


Awarded, and promulgated, 'London Gazette', second Supplement, No. 29890 (2 January 1917); 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 103 (29 June 1917).
