Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry on the night of the 9th-10th May, 1915, near Gaba Tepe (Dardanelles). During a sortie from Quinn's Post, Lance-Corporal Cawley, accompanied by another non-commissioned officer, advanced with great coolness and courage, past the first line of the enemy's trenches to a tent some distance in the rear. They killed all the occupants, and cut the telephone wires, which connected it with the fire trenches, thus preventing communication from the rear.'
