Military Medal 'From noon 11th October, 1917, East of YPRES, this man worked continuously day and night for four days. He carried wounded men from the most Advanced Regimental Aid Post under exceptionally heavy shell fire and very trying conditions (the mud being frequently up to his waist). Although almost exhausted by his very heavy work he insisted on carrying on with his duties until all the wounded were clear. The splendid example and dauntless courage of this man nerved his tired comrades to fresh efforts. He showed a complete disregard for his own safety, and after being thrown down by an exploding shell, struggled on with his patient to a place of safety.'
