Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty under heavy shell fire. During the period 17th September 1918 until the Division came out of the line on the 20th September 1918 this N.C.O. did excellent work in a very forward position near VERMAND controlling and regulating traffic which had become very disorganised owing to enemy shellfire. His fine example of coolness and devotion to duty set a splendid example to his comrades. The very efficient manner in which he has carried out all provost duties allotted him, has been of the highest order.'
