Military Medal for distinguished conduct: "Pte. W. Sparlane, of our 2nd Battalion, Canadian Mounted Rifles of British Columbia, has been awarded the Military Medal for distinguished conduct. A German grenade landed in one of our trenches. To protect his comrades, at the risk of his life Sparlane picked up the missile and threw it over the parapet.
Pte. Frank H. Vaughan, of the same battalion, performed a similar performance. Unfortunately, when he threw the bomb it struck the parapet and fell back into the trench. Without a moment's hesitation Vaughan flung himself on the bomb, which exploded and killed him. His sacrifice saved many lives." (The Saskatoon Phoenix - 06 May 1916)
