| Medals |
Military Medal 'On 10th June, 1917, at PLOEGSTEERT WOOD, this N.C.O. was on duty evacuating casualties from a temporary R.A.P. in a shell hole in No Man's Land. There was a heavy hostile bombardment on the area at the time. A 5.9 inch shell fell into a neighbouring shell hole in which a party of Divisional Signal Engineers were working, killing many, wounding and burying four others. Lance Corporal JARVIS led his party to this shell hole regardless of hostile barrage, succeeded in digging out the wounded men and then in conveying them to the nearest R.A.P. for attention. By his utter disregard for personal safety and by his bravery and example to his men this N.C.O. undoubtedly saved the lives of these wounded men.'
