Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in an attack. When a party of the enemy held up the advance of his company, he dashed out, and with his Lewis gun killed a number of the enemy and overcame the resistance. He was of great value in moving along the top of the trench with the party which was mopping up the trench system. After the objective had been taken, he moved forward under enemy machine gun and overcame an enemy post, capturing two machine guns with their crews. With his gun he pursued the enemy by fire, and accounted for several of them. He did splendid service.'
