Military Medal Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 62 Date: Bar to Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty near MONT ST. QUENTIN, near PERONNE. This Non Commissioned Officer was in charge of the gun limbers and ammunition wagons of a detached section of his battery. The two guns of the section had to change positions several times owing to heavy shell fire and the Infantry advancing. Although frequently under heavy shell-fire his dash and initiative in bringing up the gun limbers and ammunition wagons enabled the guns to be brought promptly into action in new positions and ensured a continuous supply of ammunition throughout the operations. His steadiness under fire and decisive orders sent an excellent example to all his men and materially assisted the success of his battery's work.'
