Medals |
Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When during the advance a hostile machine gun opened fire on our men, he rushed forward, engaging the gun at close quarters. Later, observing a machine gun coming into action 100 yards in front, he immediately proceeded across the open and put the gun out of action. His work throughout was splendid.'
