| Medals |
Military Medal 'On 22nd August, 1918 in front of PROYART during the advance made by the 1st Australian Division this N.C.O. was in charge of squads attached to a battalion R.M.O. With the utmost fearlessness and disregard of personal danger he set to work to clear his area of wounded, dressing them and carrying them in under heavy Machine Gun fire, and later in the day worked continuously in the open under heavy H.E. shell fire. During the ensuing night he was instrumental in clearing many cases through the intense gas shell bombardment. Working in gas masks he set a fine example to his squads, and inspired in them the greatest confidence throughout.'
