Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For gallant and courageous conduct during the operations in March 1918. Departing from Savy with his engine en route to Ham, he discovered for the first time, when at Quinconce, that he could not get through to destination, as the enemy were rapidly advancing, and that Ham had been captured. He then took part in the evacuation with a regiment, and, in addition to saving his own engine, on which he remained three days and nights without sleep, he hauled six gun waggons, two box trucks, and a truck containing two water tanks, to safety. He has at all times displayed entire disregard for danger, and has inspired those working with him.'
