Croix de Guerre (Belgium) Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 185 Date: Military Medal 'For continued gallant and valuable services throughout the period 25th February 1918 to 16th September 1918. During the operations from 8th August till 1st September 1918., this N.C.O. has consistently shown a fine example to his men under heavy fire. His devotion to duty and resource have been of great value throughout these operations, especially on the morning of 1st September, during the advance and attack on PERONNE. It was due to this N.C.O's efforts and his direction that a foot bridge was established across the moat at PERONNE which enabled Infantry and Stretcher bearers to get in and out of the town.'
