Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty on 29-30 September, 1918, east of Bellicourt, whilst one of a party of telephonists accompanying a liaison officer with the attacking infantry. Early in the advance all the liaison officers' party with the exception of this gunner and one other, became separated. He alone mended wires and kept up communication between battalion headquarters and a forward observation post under a heavy enemy barrage of 8 in. and 5.9 in. shells. His plucky work enabled his officer to pass back important information under most trying circumstances.'
