Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty near ASCENSION WOOD on 18th September 1918. During the early stages of the advance when the enemy fire was very heavy this N.C.O. set his platoon a splendid example. He pushed forward boldly quite regardless of the heavy Machine Gun fire which was sweeping the ridges. The manner in which this N.C.O. worked was to a large extent responsible for the quick progress of his platoon who were inspired by his coolness and courage. In the latter stages he was one of the bombing party that worked its way up 1800 yards of enemy trench and captured 7 machine guns and killed about 30 Huns. Throughout he was full of energy and displayed the greatest initiative and bravery.'
