Description label on verso reads, "Lance Corporal M. Parker - Kings Own Scottish Borderers T. F. - Sept 14th 1915 Gallipoli Peninsula - In the course of mining operations the gallery in which he was working came through into one of the enemies galleries. By accurate fire he held off the Turks who began firing and throwing bombs into our gallery, until he was driven back by fumes, which extinguished all the lights. So soon as the air cleared he returned and under heavy fire from the enemy he plugged up the breach between the two galleries and thus allowed the charge to be laid which destroyed the enemies galleries."
For this action, Lance Corporal M. Parker was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal.
