Military Medal 'On the night of the 24th/25th April 1918, in the counter-attack at VILLERS BRETONNEUX, this soldier showed conspicuous gallantry and coolness in handling his machine gun after his section officer and Sergeant had become casualties. Under a very heavy barrage of H.E. and machine gun fire he brought his gun into action and opened fire on the enemy with excellent results. Later on he mounted a German machine gun and with it greatly increased the strength of his position. He set a splendid example throughout.'
