Military Medal 'Near ZONNEBEKE on 26th September, 1917, for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during the operations. This man formed one of a taping party and made several trips carrying Engineer Stores over very bad ground and under heavy shell and machine gun fire, with apparently an utter disregard for ll dangers, thus setting a splendid example and enabling the track to be quickly laid. On completion of his work he assisted to carry out wounded from the front line when there was a scarcity of stretcher bearers, and finally when a stretcher was not available he carried out a wounded man on his back for a considerable distance to the advanced dressing station, although he was sniped intermittently on the way.'
