Military Medal 'On the 8th August, 1918, east of HAMEL, during the preliminary bombardment, this N.C.O. was in charge of two 6" Trench Mortars. He handled his section with great ability, and carried out the allotted task under difficult circumstances. After the barrage had lifted, he went forward and assisted in the capture of an enemy 77 mm gun and its crew, and in turning this gun against the enemy. His coolness, courage and devotion to duty set a great example to the men under him.'
