Military Medal - Adam Manson WW2

[Jon Davis]

I am trying to find out why my Gandfather was awarded the Military Medal in WW2.  I don't really know where to start.  He never told my Grandmother why he was awarded it BUT at the award ceremony the CO of my Grandfather's regiment told my Grandmother that he would not have done what my Grandfather did!!!

Any direction would be gratefully received.
