Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For fine leadership and gallantry at Peronne, 1 and 2 September, 1918. This W.O. was detailed as liaison with the battalion on the left. When hostile resistance caused a break in the line and the officers had become casualties, he with great coolness collected men of both battalions and brilliantly cleared the local opposition, refiilling the gap in the assaulting line.'
