Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During two successive nights he continually repaired telephone lines under very heavy fire. Later, when Group Headquarters received several direct hits from enemy shells, with great coolness and ititiative he got the whole personnel away to safety, searching all the dugouts himself under hostile fire. He then transferred the telephone lines to an adjacent battery under heavy fire and maintained communication. He showed the greatest devotion to duty and fearlessness throughout.'
