Military Medal 'During the operations near BELLICOURT between 30th September and 2nd October 1918 this Signalling Corporal on Battalion Headquarters. Within two hours of the attack he went out with his linesmen, and personally reconnoitred a route for, and laid a Line to the Front Line in spite of heavy artillery fire, and very heavy Machine Gun Fire from the front and both flanks, and that the last 600 yards of this Line had to be laid under direct enemy observation. Later on during the day he directed the laying of a fresh line thus establishing an alternative route to the front line, and securing almost continuous communication throughout the operations.'
