Medals |
Distinguished Conduct Medal 'He has at all times during nearly four years of active service, including a considerable period daily under fire, carried out his duties most fearlessly and capably. During the many emergencies arising from the operations between March and September 1918, his intense energy and efficiency as the senior N.C.O. contributed in a marked degree to the success of the unit in coping with the tasks allotted. By his fine behaviour and ability he proved himself worthy of the entire confidence of his commanding officer.'
