Military Medal 'This N.C.O. by his initiative and tireless energy displayed in the preparation of new gun positions and the carting of guns, beds and ammunition, calling forth the utmost of physical endurance set a splendid example of devotion to duty to men under his charge. Also during the preliminary bombardment on the morning of 8th August, 1918, east of HAMEL he carried out the task allotted to him under difficult conditions. Later he went forward into the newly captured territory and assisted in turning the captured guns round, and using them against the enemy.'
