Medals |
Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During an action, and in the arrangements previous to its commencement his organization and supervision of supplies of small arms ammunition and material were admirable, and were carried out without any regard for his own safety, often in most exposed positions and under heavy fire of the enemy. The assistance which he was able to render to his commanding officer was invaluable, and his behaviour throughout was conspicuous for courage and presence of mind, as well as for ability and unremitting devotion to duty.'
