Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. At BROODSEINDE on 9th October, 1917, during the attack this man acted as a runner and carried messages continuously under the heaviest barrages. His route lay overland and he was sniped at persistently on each of his journeys. Despite fatigue and exhaustion he remained at his post, and without hesitation performed his duties cheerfully and well showing a complete disregard of personal risk and danger. At night he acted as a guide and voluntarily went off into No Man's Land searched for posts which were in danger of being isolated. Throughout his endurance and courage were remarkable and the services rendered of highest value.'
