Military Medal 'During the operations near BELLICOURT between 30th September and 2nd October 1918 this N.C.O. displayed great courage and resource and ability in handling his Lewis Gun. He several times rushed forward in the open under intense rifle and machine gun fire and gave covering fire to enable the rest of his Platoon to advance. On one occasion during the advance he rushed an enemy strong post by himself firing his Lewis Gun from his hip inflicting several casualties and putting the rest of the garrison to flight.'
