Military Medal 'At HERLEVILLE, East of AMIENS, during operations on the 17th August, 1918, this man acted as Bayonet man in a bombing party. Meeting an enemy party who were counter-attacking, he led his party, drove the enemy back and cleared the trench. Although severely wounded he continued to assist in clearing up the situation, and later, when unable to move cheered and encouraged the men in their work. His conduct and bearing during the whole operation was of a very high standard.'
