Medals |
Military Medal 'At No. 1 Aid Post near BULLECOURT this private showed magnificent courage on the night of 10th May 1917, by going forward in front of R.A. Post and bringing in a wounded man. A heavy hail of shrapnel fire was on at the time. He also by his own coolness and disregard for danger encouraged his stretcher squad, who kept at work for 30 hours continuously and were instrumental in saving the lives of many wounded men who would otherwise have been helpless and exposed to terrific enemy fire.'
