Military Medal 'On the 12th August, 1918, during operatins on the SOMME, near PROYART, this N.C.O. showed great skilll in dealing with hostile machine guns. He directed the tactics of his own and adjoining sections in clearing up difficult machine gun posts on one occasion in order to complete an outflanking movement of another section which he himself directed. He rushed the post, accomplished the object, but was severely wounded. His daring action and exemplary courage had a very inspiring effect on all personnel under his command.'
