Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty South East of MERICOURT, near ALBERT on the night of 28th/29th July 1918. He fearlessly directed and led his bearers in the evacuation of wounded under very heavy shell fire and over broken ground for many hours. By his total disregard for his personal safety and by his cheerfulness he set a splendid example to his men. On one occasion this N.C.O, having been informed by a passing runner that a man was lying out wounded in a crop several hundred yards from the Aid Post, proceeded to search for the wounded soldier, although the shelling was very heavy at the time. After a prolonged search he found the men and having rendered urgent attention he returned to his post, led out his squad, and brought the wounded man in.'
