Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in the operations near VILLERS-BRETONNEUX on 8th and 9th August 1918. This N.C.O. displayed great gallantry on being lodged on the final objective from a Tank, and when the infantry went forward on 9th August, he took his gun forward under very heavy machine gun fire and opened fire at very close range, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy and materially assisted the advance of the infantry. Throughout the operations he showed an utter disregard for his personal safety and set a splendid example to his comrades.'
