I see the London Gazette lists him as being from Gateshead.
The Newcastle Journal of 28 Nov 1918 has a short article under the headling "Military Medals for Local Soldiers - Presentation at Gateshead"
"At the Empire Theatre, Gateshead, last night, Sergt. A. A. Haram, Private J. H. Parkin, Private J. Burns, Private J. McNeil, Private W. R. Lennox and Corporal W. Hughes were presented with Military Medals in recognition of their gallantry on the field. The medals were handed over by Brigadier-General Surtees and Mr Adam Dodds presided. The Gateshead War Honours Recognition Committee also presented each of the soldiers with a wristlet watch, and Private J. H. Parkin was presented by his employer, Mr Joseph Wilkinson, with a cheque for £50."
I suspect A.A. Haram should be A.E Haram. However, if it was for gallantry at the Battle of Mons, 4 years later seems to be an awfully long time before the medal was received. I have relations awarded different gallantry medals and a few months' interval would seem much more common.
