Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty near ASCENSION WOOD on 18th September 1918. This man displayed great courage and dash. When the enemy second line was reached he was one of the first to jump into the trench and push along to the left. He encountered several of the enemy who were attempting to place a barricade across part of the trench. under cover of the intense darkness and rain he jumped out of the trench, worked his way carefully along the top and was able to drop several bombs right in amongst the enemy before they knew of his presence. He accounted for six, five being killed with the bombs, one he shot as he attempted to escape. He is at all times a splendid example.'
