Medals |
Military Medal 'During the operations east of YPRES on 4th October 1917, he was employed on the construction of a communication trench between two strong points on BECELAERE RIDGE. He gave great assistance in the construction and in the distribution and supervision of the men. He gave great assistance to our wounded and when he himself was wounded he walked to the dressing station near YPRES rather than tax the strength of the stretcher bearers who were very busy at the advanced dressing station. He set a fine example of devotion to duty.'
