Meritorious Service Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in charge of parties carrying stores forward to the front line during period 22nd September, 1917, to 30th Janruary, 1918. This Warrant Officer was continually with ration parties, and the welfare of the men in the line has always been his motive. His men were several times dispersed by shell fire, but he re-organised them and was always able to get the necessary supplies to the troops. By skilfull handling of his men he saved many casualties and set a splendid example of courage and coolness throughout. This R.Q.M.S. is an original member of the Battalion from which he has never been absent. His work has always been of sterling worth to the unit.'
