Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When a runner from a battalion headquarters was wounded as he was approaching company headquarters, this warrant officer went to his assistance under a very heavy fire of snipers and machine guns, and carried him to a place of safety, thereby securing delivery of an important message. On the next day when an officer was wounded and the stretcher bearers who attempted to approach him were obliged to desist, the stretcher being knocked to pieces by the heavy fire of the enemy, this warrant officer went out and reached the officer, dressed his wounds, and carried him 50 yards to a place of shelter. The example of this fine act of self sacrificing courage had a most marked effect on his men.'
