Medals |
Military Medal 'On the night of 28th/29th September 1917, near POLYGON WOOD, this N.C.O. maintained the telephone lines through GLENCORSE WOOD and BLACK WATCH CORNER to the right Battalion Headquarters in POLYGON WOOD. He repeatedly went out with a Sapper and repaired faults in the line, and it was largely owing to his untiring energy that telephonic communication was maintained continuously between the front line and Brigade Headquarters, throughout the whole of the operations.'
