Distinguished Service Order 'On the 1st September, 1918, during the attack on Mont St. Quentin, although the R.A.P. was consistently shelled, he attended the wounded almosst continuously for fifty-two hours, during five of which he was forced to wear his gas respirator, displaying throughout the greatest courage and devotion to duty. On the day prior to the attack a shell burst on a dug-out, wounding several men and pressing one down, severely wounded, blocking the entrance. He immediately went forward, regardless of intense shell fire, and succeeded in extricating the man and removing him over exposed ground to the rear.'
