Military Medal 'On September 29th, West of BONY, during the operations of the 11th A.I. Brigade, this Non Commissioned Officer was in charge of his Section transport. When the smoke of the action lifted he came under heavy machine gun fire at close range, and three of his mules were immediately shot down. Getting his drivers together he then rushed in and endeavoured to save his one remaining mule, which he succeeded in getting away to cover, but it was killed very soon after. He went back to his No. 1 limber where the animals had been destroyed, collected the gun gear and eventually managed to transfer it to his No. 2 limber, enabling his gun teams to continue the advance. His devotion to his animals and the determination with which he set about the task so that the advance of his section should not be stopped, has won from him the highest admiration of his comrades.'
