Military Medal 'On the 7th June, 1917, during the operations south of MESSINES for his gallant conduct and bravery in the bringing in and evacuation of wounded. On three different occasions he brought in wounded men from the area between the BLACK and the GREEN LINE, which was being subjected to heavy artillery fire and being swept by machine guns. On other occasions he carried wounded men to safe positions, and rendered first aid. This N.C.O. was later severely wounded whilst caring for the wounded. He set a splendid example of courage, self sacrifice, and devotion to duty.'
