Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty while in action near ZONEBEKE on 26th September, 1917. This N.C.O. handled his Lewis gun with great skill and daring. As soon as the objective was gained he got his gun forward to cover the consolidation, and from this position was able to silence an enemy machine gun which was harrassing the work of consolidation. He worked with great dash throughout the operation and was always cool and collected.'
