Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For consistent good work during the operations of 3-5 October, 1918, near Estrees and Montbrehain respectively, north of St. Quentin. On the 3rd, in command of his platoon, he was twice the first to reach enemy machine guns, and on each occasion personally killed two of the enemy. He organized the consolidation of his platoon objective, and by personally directing his Lewis guns did much to stave off the repeated counter attacks, and later to push the line forward.'
