| Medals |
Military Medal On the 11th and 12th August, 1918, during the operations on the Somme near Proyart, this man was employed as a runner to forward battalions, and although badly shaken by the explosion of an enemy bomb during the night, he refused to leave his duty. On many of his journeys he had to paw through heavy enemy barrage of shell and machine-gun fire and succeeded in delivering and bringing valuable information which was essential to the success of the operation. He also distinguished himself in this duty during the attack East of Hamel on the 8th August, 1918 and his courageous actions and splendid spirit showed a fine sense of duty to the remainder of his comrades.
