Military Medal "On the morning of July 31 1917 in the assault North of Warneton this NCO was wounded shortly after leaving our own trenches. He took charge of the platoon and with them mopped up enemy strong posts. He then reorganized his men, led them successfully to their objective and did not leave them to have his wound dressed until he had placed them all on their tasks. His courage and devotion to duty were a fine example to the platoon."
