Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in continually keeping his gun in action under the most trying conditions. His great courage and his personal example under heavy shell and machine gun fire and hostile aircraft attacks were magnificent. He displayed great skill and resource in improvising moving stores, and carrying on until his gun was put out of action. He then personally attended to the wounded carrying them to a place of safety under heavy shell fire at the imminent risk of his own life.'
