| Medals |
Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When a nest of "Pill-boxes" had caused a gap in the line, he re-organized the leading platoon, and succeeded in rushing and capturing them. Though afterwards buried and badly shaken by a shell, he carried on with his duties, rendering great assistance in getting the company reorganized on the objective and consolidating the position. His coolness and courage throughout were most inspiring.'
