Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and ability on the 25th and 26th April, 1915, near Gaba Tepe (Dardanelles). When, on one occasion during the operations, most of the Officers having been killed or wounded, and part of the line commenced to retire, Private Diamond showed the greatest courage and decision of character in assisting to satop the retirement and in leading the men forward again under a heavy fire. He also frequently carried messages over open ground swpet by a heavy fire, and exhibited a splendid example of devotion to duty.'
