Military Medal 'For devotion to duty and bravery in action. On 24th April, 1918, near RIBEMONT, as a linesman during an enemy attack this soldier went out under extremely heavy enemy shell fire and gas shell attack to repair broken lines. He dispalyed remarkable courage, and worked for 4 1/2 hours continuously under the most dangerous conditions and in a gas mask, maintained communications. It was greatly due to his bravery and example of devotion to duty that important messages were able to be transmitted and touch with the flanks maintained.' His disregard for his own personal safety and his bravery under fire was greatly admired by his comrades. He has previously been mentioned in despatches for performance of good work.'
