Military Medal 'On 15th September, 1918 during an attack on enemy position near VERMAND North West of ST. QUENTIN, this N.C.O. showed splendid courage. When his platoon was held up by heavy machine gun fire he, at great personal risk, crawled forward under machine gun fire and succeeded in working his way to the rear of enemy post, killing 1 and capturing 2 others together with 3 machine guns. His gallant conduct was an example to all.'
