Military Medal Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 219 Date: Bar to Military Medal 'Near HOOGE on 20th September, 1917. Whilst acting as linesman and runner with Liaison Officer, Right Battalion, under very heavy shell and machine gun fire he kept communication going between Brigade Headquarters and the front line. On three successive occasions he ran back to Brigade Headquarters through a very heavy barrage, showing a total disregard of personal danger and his coolness and devotion to duty during the whole engagement were of the highest standard.'
