Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during our attack on enemy positions near ZONNEBEKE on 26th September, 1917. He was of great value to his Company Commander in disposing the Company at the forming up position prior to the attack and when attack was launched he showed exceptional qualities as a leader, he kept his men well in hand and inspired them by his example. When his Platoon Commander was wounded he immediately took charge and succeeded in reaching his objective and consolidated his position. He has been previously noticed for gallant work and utter disregard of his own safety.'
