Military Medal 'On the morning of the 9th August 1918 during operations carried out by 2nd and 5th Australian Divisions East of AMIENS this driver was evacuating wounded by the Ford Motor Ambulance from the Eastern side of HARBONNIERES. The village was continuously shelled and two cars had already been put out of action. Nevertheless, this driver continued his work with complete disregard of his own safety. His work was unusually heavy owing to the fact that the other cars had been put out of action. He set a splendid example of cheerfulness and courage under adverse conditions. on the night of 11/12th August 1918 he was evacuating wounded from the village of VAUVILLERS, in spite of the extremely heavy hostile shelling. He evacuated all cases and returned to see if there were any more and only just left his car when it was completely wrecked by enemy shell. His conduct throughout the operations has been very gallant.'
