Military Medal 'On the 7th and 8th June, 1917, during the operations south of MESSINES for his untiring energy and devotion to duty as a stretcher bearer.

He displayed great courage and determination throughout. He had on a previous occasion volunteered and brought in a wounded comrade from the enemy wire and had also done excellent work whilst under heavy enemy artillery fire.'
