Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. A hostile shell exploded near a tractor with two trucks of ammunition which was set on fire, the driver being wounded. On the rear truck catching fire, this warrant officer, unaided, immediately uncoupled the burning truck, extinguished the fire on the tractor, and moved both the latter and one truck of ammunition to safety at great personal risk. By this courageous action he saved both ammunition and rolling stock.'
