Military Medal 'For most conspicuous good work and devotion to duty. On the 17th October 1918, at ST SOUPLET, during the crossing of the SELLE River, under heavy shell and machine gun fire, he reconnoitred positions which Batteries were to occupy during the advance. In this he was most successful, and also, succeeded in laying lines from the Report Centre to these positions before the arrival of the Batteries. His behaviour was exemplary and most inspiring to his comrades during this and many other occasions, when he has been called upon to take charge of men under trying circumstances.'
