Medals |
Military Medal 'This man most gallantly remained at his post under very heavy shell fire at Artillery Forward Exchange at YORK TRENCH on the 20th December, 1916, and maintained communication between Divisional Artillery Headquarters and Groups, despite the fact that a linesman was killed beside him, and he himself was several times blown across the floor by force of explosions which wrecked the dug out. He remained at his post until shelling ceased.'
