Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry on 10th August, 1915, in Aghyl Dere (Dardanelles). While in charge of a convoy of 25 mules, and subjected to a heavy shrapnel fire, he succeeded in collecting and conducting to its destination another convoy, the conductor of which had been severely wounded. Several of the native drivers had also been hit, and the remainded had become demoralized. On his return journey, at the same spot, which was still under heavy shell fire, he caught and added to his already doubled convoy several stray mules from a third party, successfully escorting them to the outpost line, thereby saving considerable quantities of supplies. Driver Farlow has been previously brought to notice for bravery and devotion to duty.'
