Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. While accompanying an officer on patrol he surprised and captured the garrison of three of an enemy post. He handed them over as prisoners, and proceeded to another post, and with great daring engaged and captured the four occupants. Later in the day he joined in an attack on an enemy strong point and succeeded in getting behind the post and bombing it, thereby greatly assisting the attacking party and contributing largely to the success of the operation. He showed courage and initiative of a high order.'

He kept at this work continuously for five hours being instrumental in rescuing many of our wounded from close to the enemy position.'
