Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty on 23 August 1918, at Herleville Wood. When only one officer was left in his company he took command of the right half and led the men to their objective, superintending the consolidation quite regardless of fire. Later, after beating off a counter attack, he, with two men, set out under heavy fire and established communication with the flank.'
