Military Medal 'North of POLYGON WOOD on the night 30th September/1st October, 1917, as Battalion runner. The way in which he carried out his work inspired his comrades to follow his example. He was always willing and eager to go on a run. He passed through heavy enemy machine gun fire on six different occasions, never diverting from his course. He showed utter disregard for shell fire. He never failed to deliver any message entrusted to him. He also acted as guide to the relieving Battalion. His services were invaluable to the Battalion.'
