Distinguished Conduct Medal 'At Flaucourt on 31 August 1918 this N.C.O. was in charge of transport which was suddenly shelled heavily. Three drivers were wounded and horses killed; he himself was wounded. Nevertheless, with great courage and encurance he helped the other wounded to a place of safety, and then returned and organized the work of clearing the wreckage until he was wounded severely a second time. He set a fine example of devotion to duty under very trying conditions, and his action prevented a serious block in the traffic, which would have led to further casualties.'
