Medals |
Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On one occasion, when no officers were available, he took command of a large party of reinforcements, and notwithstanding heavy shell fire and most difficult weather conditions, he succeeded in bringing them to the front line. His example of gallantry in action has often been remarkable, and his steadiness and reliability when out of the line has been of the greatest assistance to his officers.'
