Military Medal 'Near BARY, on 24th August, 1918, this man performed conspicuously good work during the advance and after consolidation. As soon as the final objective was taken, he led parties forward and supplied all front line companies with stores. In the evening when his Company had reached its final objective, he volunteered to join a bombing party. He was foremost in clearing a trench occupied by the enemy and materially assisted in capturing 18 prisoners. On completion of this work, he volunteered and took the place of another man to carry rations from the dump to outpost troops under artillery fire. His energy and initiative was a source of admiration to all and by his courage and resource was an excellent example to his comrades.'
