Military Medal 'On the night of the 17th/18th May, 1917, during a heavy bombardment and ahostile raid on LE TOUQUET Sector, this soldier showed great courage and devotion to duty. He acted as a runner, and telephonic communication being cut off, he ran with messages from the front line to Battalion Headquarters, a distance of 1 1/2 miles, and returned with further messages, being both ways under heavy H.E. and shrapnel fire. His brave action enabled Battalion Headquarters to receive valuable information, and the Battalion Commander to get important orders through to the front line. He set a splendid example to his comrades of devotion to duty.'
