Military Medal 'On September 1st, 1918 in the attack on MT. ST. QUENTIN, near PERONNE, this man showed remarkable coolness under heavy shelling and machine gun fire. As a stretcher bearer, he worked almost continuously for 27 hours, attending to the wounded and assisting to carry them to the rear. On one occasion when a shell landed in the trench itself, causing 13 casualties, the manner in which he got to work to sort out the wounded called forth the admiration of his comrades and acted as an incentive to them during a very trying situation. During the following two days he repeatedly made the most dangerous trips over exposed ground and brought in wounded.'
