I.O.M. Notification 2536, 16 October 1918.
‘On the night of the 30-31 May 1918, Subadar Rahim Khan, 101st Grenadiers, displayed much skill and initiative in leading his patrol forward to surround an enemy post. At the head of his men, he personally sprang upon the enemy sentry, silenced and disarmed him without raising an alarm, with the result that the total enemy post of four was brought in, although the neighbouring occupied enemy posts were within 150 and 200 yards of either flank. he set a splendid example of dash and pluck to his men.’
