Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during the operations west of Bellenglise, north of St. Quentin, on 18 September 1918. When troops on the right were held up during the advance, he, with great skill and determination manoeuvred his platoon in such a manner that he was able to engage the enemy at short range and force him to evacuate, our line being thereby established. He set a very fine example to the men throughout.'
