Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in charge of a convoy of 30 waggons. On three occasions the road was blown up by heavy shell fire, and on each occasion he displayed most marked gallantry and coolness. In spite of continued shelling, with a few men he cleared away the debris, re-organized the broken column, and relieved the congestion which had been caused. He set a splendid example to his men.'
