Military Medal 'For distinguished gallantry. On 9th August, 1916, at BIR-EL-ABD, in company with Captain D.D. Jamieson, and Driver Crawford and Private Davis, went with a sandcart to the left flank. Leaving the nearer wounded, they passed through the line which was rapidly retiring, reached two wounded men in front. Under heavy rifle and shell fire, loaded them into cart with great difficulty as bursting shells were frightening the horses and causing them to plunge. Captain Jamieson, having searched in front to make sure there were no more, the party returned, with their harness in a tangled condition, picking up three other wounded on the way back.'
