Distinguished Service Order 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He established a forward dressing station immediately in rear of the front line during an attack, and attended continuously to the wounded, frequently going out and dressing cases in the open under heavy shell fire. His dressing station was hit by a shell, and, though he was badly shaken, he continued his work with great determination and devotion to duty. His fearlessness was an inspiration to all, and was the means of saving many lives.'
