Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When in charge of a machine gun in an advanced post amidst rough and difficult country, he, together with two other men, were isolated and kept under fire for over two hours by enemy snipers, during which period his two comrades became casualties. He nevertheless continued to fire his gun, and engaged the enemy at close range. His determined action assisted materially in the occupation of the line which formed the objective, and in driving out a group of enemy snipers. His conduct was beyond all praise.'
