Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in charge of a fighting patrol. He led his men forward with the object of dispersing snipers, who were causing great annoyance. He engaged them with his Lewis gun, whilst he and another N.C.O. crawled up to within rifle range, and either killed or forced them to retire. He also brought back valuable information, which enabled us to push out forward posts.'
Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 219 Date: Military Medal 'At NOREUIL on 2nd April, 1917, this Non Commissioned Officer with his section of bombers was detailed to hold the barricade on the extreme right flank. He kept his men well in hand and set a fine example of cheerfulness and bravery under very trying circumstances. When counter attacked he and his section gave the enemy such a warm reception that the attack was completely broken up and not again attempted.'
