Military Medal 'While in charge of a stretcher squad attached to a Regimental Aid Post near MORLANCOURT, South West of ALBERT on 29th July 1918, he displayed great courage and initiative in assisting in the evacuation of wounded. During a bombardment lasting for a considerable time he took his squads to and fro along a heavily shelled track without any rest or regard to his own personal safety. When there were no stretcher cases waiting he conducted walking parties of wounded to the Relay Post. he did not spare himself at all for a period lasting over 15 hours. His initiative and gallantry was an inspiring example to all and is worthy of recognition'
