M.M. London Gazette 11 November 1916.

Reginald Hockheimer first went to France as a Private in the R.A.M.C. on 26 October 1914. His subsequent award of the M.M. - for services in 21 Field Ambulance, 7th Division - was undoubtedly in respect of operations on the Somme in 1916, where his unit acted in support of the capture of Mametz, the battles of Bazentin and Guillemont, and the attacks on High Wood and Delville Wood.
