Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During an enemy attack he went out through frontal and flank machine gun fire to reconnoitre some dead ground. When the attack was driven off he went out with some bombs to deal with some enemy who were digging in about 150 yards away. He met ten, killing some with bombs and shooting two. When he ran out of bombs he used enemy stick bombs, which he took from the dead. He brought one N.C.O. back with him as prisoner.'
