Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when employed at a regimental aid post. He was on duty for 60 hours without rest, and refused relief so long as there were wounded to be attended to. His coolness and cheerfulness did much to raise the spirits of the wounded, whilst his skilful work was invaluable to the R.M.O. During the whole of this time the post was under continuous shell fire. He has on all occasions proved himself to be a man absolutely without fear and extremely capable.'
