Medals |
Distinguished Service Order 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He was in charge of the organization of bearer reliefs during an action, and hearing that the officer in charge of the forward bearer parties had been killed, he at once went forward under heavy fire and took charge. He located the new regimental aid posts forward of the former line, and with absolute disregard of danger arranged for the evacuation of the wounded from these new posts through a heavy barrage. His quick grasp of the situation and prompt and courageous action were of inestimable value.'
