Military Medal 'On May 3rd near NOREUIL he was No. 1 of a Lewis Gun when the first attack was beaten off and took shelter with two others in the enemy's wire, keeping up fire on hostile Machine guns. The 2 men with him were wounded and he remained at his post till night when he was ordered to take up a new position. He collected some leaderless men, gathered ammunition and panniers, and made preparations in anticipation of enemy's counter attack. He was slightly wounded early in the day and more severely in the afternoon. he was wounded a third time at night and was then taken away. His conduct throughout the day was a splendid example to his comrades.'
