Distinguished Conduct Medal 'At Corbie, on the 24 April 1918, during the bombardment that preceded and accompanied the enemy attack on Villers Bretonneux he collected his men and got his gun into action. Though knocked over and slightly gassed by a shell, he remained at his post throughout the whole of the operation. He also performed splendid work at Hamel on the 4 July and during the August operations. On 30 August 1918 he showed great gallantry under heavy fire when his battery was supporting the attack on Peronne, carrying up ammunition from a dump 100 yards in rear for over an hour. Throughout his courage and devotion to duty were of a very high order.'
