Meritorious Service Medal 'This N.C.O. has always shown the greatest devotion to duty as a dresser during operations and as a N.C.O. in charge of wards in back areas, he has shown marked organising ability. During the period 2nd October, 1917 to 14th October, 1917, at the A.D.S. MENIN ROAD he was indefatigable in carrying out his duties and on two occasions during a rush time worked for 24 to 36 hours continuously, dressing wounded, and by his cheerful example and devotion materially improved the morale of the wounded and the tired out orderlies under him. As N.C.O. in charge of the officers ward at D.R.S., BAILLEUL, his patients frequently commented on his tact and skill as a nursing orderly and I have never known an officer who has been nursed by him but voluntarily spoke of his good qualities.'
