Recommendation date: 28 April 1918

'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty while in charge of a stretcher bearer squad during an attack. The advance was made under heavy shell and machine gun fire, and this N.C.O. did invaluable work in organizing details, directing regimental stretcher bearers, and getting in touch with battalion headquarters and the Field Ambulance posts in rear. During his duties, he was continually exposed to heavy fire, and did fine work under most difficult circumstances.'

'During the night of June 9th/10th he was stationed at the R.A.P. of the 49th Battalion at [?] B or O 27 central (Sheet 28. S.W. 1/20,000) during the operations near MESSINES and sought out and got into touch with the R.A.P. of the 50th Australian Infantry Battalion at O 27. d 5.8, notwithstanding that the ground between was being heavily barraged with shells and machine gun fire. he then explored, at great risk to himself, this ground to find the safest path for the bearer squads to follow. Subsequently he worked continuously for 37 hours, most of which was under heavy shell fire, carrying wounded. During the night of 10th/11th June 1917 two members of his squad were wounded but he worked on with the fresh men who took their place as though he had come off duty at the same time as they, thus displaying marked courage and endurance under very trying circumstances.'
