Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He was assisting large working parties carrying materials and constructing a duckboard track to forward position. The enemy's shell fire was very heavy, and some of the parties became disorganized. On each occasion he rallied the parties, and so inspired them by his courage and example that they completed the very important work on which they were engaged. On one occasion, when the work was finished, he went into heavy barrage to rescue a wounded man, and carried him 500 yards to the aid post. He showed the greatest gallantry and disregard of danger.'
