Military Medal 'During the attacks on the LE CATELET - NAUROY LINE, NAUROY and SUGAR FACTORY East of NAUROY on 29th/30th September and 1st October 1918. For his splendid work and devotion to duty. He was employed as a Stretcher Bearer and in the face of heavy artillery and Machine Gun fire he rescued many wounded carrying them to the Aid Post through an intense artillery fire. When our own wounded were all brought in he carried on bringing in many of the enemy wounded until he became exhausted and had to be relieved. He set a splendid example of courage and self sacrifice.'
