Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during a raid. He was the first of his section to reach an enemy bombing post of six men, of whom he personally killed five, and took the sixth prisoner. The way was thus cleared for the remainder of his section, who, working to the flanks, mopped up several more of the enemy. He did splendid service and contributed greatly to the complete success of the raid.'
