Medals |
Military Medal 'At WESTHOEK on 22nd September 1917 for conspicuous courage and coolness. During heavy bombardments he kept constantly moving round the members of his platoon encouraging each man in turn and setting a fine example of coolness and self possession. On night 22nd/23rd September, 1917 under heavy shell fire he collected and re-organised fatigue parties which the shelling had dispersed and enabled them to complete their tasks. The gallant example of this N.C.O. had a marked effect on all he came into contact with.'
