Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty as a stretcher bearer. When another unit moving up the line lost four men, wounded, and five killed from severe shelling, he rushed through the barrage and bound up their injuries, which without immediate attention would have resulted in death. Then improvising stretchers, he removed them to a place of greater safety.'
