Medals |
Military Medal 'Showed conspicuous gallantry and brave leadership in action near ZONNEBEKE on 26th September, 1917. On one occasion his Platoon met with stubborn resistance from an enemy post, he quickly appreciated the situation, rallied his section and got round on the flank of the post, cleared the situation up and the advance was continued with very little delay. Right through the operation he showed great dash and leadership of the highest standard.'
