Medals |
Military Medal 'On 24th April, 1918, at BONNARY he drove his car through the village on a number of occasions whilst it was being heavily shelled with gas and H.E. Later in the morning he drove his car right up to a battery on the outskirts of BONNAY and picked up a load of wounded under fire. On another occasion he took his car to a cross road which was being heavily shelled and picked up another load of wounded. His courage and coolness greatly assisted the quick evacuation of casualties and undoubtedly helped to save a number of lives.'
