Military Medal 'At ARMENTIERES on the night 12th/13th April, 1917, on the occasion of a heavy bombardment of our lines and on an attempted enemy raid on our trenches, this man was No. 1 of a Lewis gun team, which was largely responsible for the repelling of the raid. He displayed conspicuous gallantry and coolness under fire in the working of his gun, and in repairing a breakdown in the midst of the heavy bombardment - and rapidly as to be able to bring the gun again to bear on the enemy. His devotion to duty set a splendid example to the men of his team.'
