Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. While withdrawing from a position two of his men were buried by a bursting shell, and he remained behind with two men and got them clear. Whilst taking one of these men, who was severely wounded, to the dressing station the two bearers were wounded, whereupon he dressed their wounds and went half a mile for more bearers. During the whole day, while working his gun and dressing the wounded, he displayed a splendid disregard of personal danger, and set an example which was worthy of the highest praise.'
