Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. This N.C.O. single handed attacked an enemy machine gun, which was interfering with the progress of a platoon on his flank, capturing the gun and crew. He successfully reorganized and led to their objective parties which had become scattered in the thick fog. On arrival at the objective he gave great assistance in consolidating it, under heavy fire, setting an excellent example all round.'
