Military Medal 'During the operations east of YPRES on 4th October 1917, this N.C.O. was one of a party engaged on the construction of a strong point near MOLENAARELSTHOEK. When the two senior N.C.O.s of his party became casualties he assumed their responsibilities and set a fine example to the party, labouring almost ot the point of exhaustion. When his section was relieved he accompanied it to WESTHOEK, about 2 1/2 miles. He then volunteered to guide another working party back to Strong Point notwithstanding his exhaustion and the fact that he had again to cross an area being very heavily shelled. It was owing to his skill, determination and courage that this party was enabled to reach its position.'
