Military Medal 'In the attack on PERONNE on 1st September 1918 this N.C.O. showed great dash and most conspicuous courage and coolness. When his Platoon Commander and a number of his platoon became casualties he at once rallied and reorganised the men and assumed command of the platoon leading them with great skill and determination to their objective. Later he performed most useful work and greatly assisted his Company Commander in the final consolidation. He also performed splendid work when in charge of patrols linking up his Company with the Battalion on our right. During the whole of the operation this N.C.O.'s devotion to duty and utter disregard of personal danger inspired his men with the greatest confidence and helped considerably to the gaining of the objective.'
