Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during the attacks on our line near ALBERT on 5th April 1918. Whilst the Battery was under heavy shell fire and suffering severe casualties, this N.C.O. served his Howitzer in a very capable manner showing absolute disregard for his personal safety and setting a fine example to his men. Later in the day - when the Battery had to put down a barrage in support of our Infantry - this N.C.O. directed the service of his own Howitzer and also of that next to him after the No. 1 had been wounded.'
