Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during the attack on 2 September 1918, east of Mont St. Quentin, in charge of the company Lewis guns. When the advance was checked by machine gun fire he took the gun of one of his crews, who had all become casualties, and single handed, under very heavy fire, worked to a flank, firing the gun from his hip with such accuracy that he kept the hostile fire down and enabled his company to capture the position.'
