Military Medal 'On the night of the 24th September, 1917, he was a stretcher bearer with his Company proceeding to work on the WESTHOEK ZONNEBEKE Road. Just as they reached the road, they were suddenly caught in a very heavy barrage lasting about 30 minutes and suffered many casualties. Throughout this period he moved among his Company attending the wounded and never attempted to take cover himself. It was mainly due to his gallant conduct and absolute disregard for his personal safety that the wounded were removed to a place of safety thereby saving many of their lives.'
