Medals |
Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty on the 2nd September 1918 at HALLE, near PERONNE. When the Officer-in-Charge of his battery was killed and several Gunners wounded, this Non Commissioned Officer immediately took charge of his battery. He personally supervised and assisted in getting away the wounded men and as the position was being very heavily shelled, withdrew the detachments to a flank, thereby saving further casualties. His conduct set a splendid example to the men of his battery.'
