Frank Blunt disembarked in France with the 1st Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment on 8 September 1914. He later transferred into the 61st Battalion, Machine Gun Corps (Bradford) with service number 14456 and was promoted to Warrant Officer Second Class. Blunt was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal (LG 3 September 1919). His citation is as follows:
14456 C./S./M. F. Blunt, 61st Bn., M.G. Corps (Bradford). He has served with this 'battalion for the last seven months. During this period he has proved himself a most capable and efficient Warrant Officer. He has at all times showed fearless initiative and devotion to duty, particularly during February and March of this year, when, owing to Section Officers becoming casualties, he had for many days to command different sections. His personal gallantry and untiring efforts are a fine example to all.
