Distinguished Conduct Medal

'For great bravery on the 27th April, 1915, subsequent to the landing at Gaba Tepe (Dardanelles). Ammunition in the firing trench having run short, and efforts to obtain supplies having failed, owing to the ammunition carriers having been killed, he volunteered to return to the support trench in the rear and obtain further supplies. This he succeeded in doing, although both in going and returning he was exposed to a very heavy shell fire.'
