Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in charge of two Stokes mortars during an attack. He fought his guns most effectively during the advance and during a counter attack by the enemy. In order to knock out an enemy machine gun, he dismantled his mortar, dashed forward to a shell hole, and held the barrel in his bare hands while his comrade dropped the shells down the muzzle. He did fine work.'
Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 31 Date: Military Medal 'During operations from 26th/30th September 1917 at POLYGON WOOD - East of YPRES - this N.C.O. displayed exceptional coolness and gallantry under heavy Artillery and Machine Gun fire in conducting carrying parties, with Supplies and Ammunition to the forward Stokes Mortar position. On several occasions he had to pass through the enemy's barrage, but always succeeded in bring forward Stokes ammunition to where it was urgently required. His cheerfulness and devotion to duty inspired his men to greater efforts, and by his gallant conduct and example, the forward guns were never without ammunition.'
