Military Medal 'On the 4th October, 1917, East of YPRES, he was in charge of a large party of Bearers clearing the Regimental Aid Posts on the Left Sector of the Divisional Front. He set a fine example of courage and determination under heavy enemy shell fire, and displayed great initiative and resource in placing his men where they were most needed. It was largely due to his unremitting personal efforts under adverse circumstances that the rapid clearing of the wounded from the Left Sector was affected.'
