Service at the Western Front
Awarded Military Medal 13 September 1918
for Bravery Under Fire During the attack on Mt St Quentin near Peronne on the 1/9/16 this man did splendid work as a sniper and his coolness and courage did much to relieve the situation growing ever more serious. Casualties kept occurring and the enemy’s numbers increasing, but Stonehouse remained undaunted. At great personal risk for machine guns played fire all around him, he continued to fire and accounted for from 15 to 20 Germans, he so seldom missed his mark that he appeared to demoralise the enemy, and thus did much to cover a temporary withdrawal of his section which was taking place. One of his victims was a German whom he dropped from a tree, and who had caused men much trouble. JC Robertson Brig-Gen Commdg 6^th Aust Inf Bde

It was reported that Sam had several holes in his uniform plucked by the intense enemy fire at the time.
