Medals |
Military Medal 'At HARBONNIERES, East of VILLERS-BRETONNEUX on 9th August 1918, this N.C.O. was in charge of several squads of Stretcher Bearers engaged in evacuating the wounded from the battle field during the advance on VAUVILLERS. Though wounded in the head he repeatedly patrolled the Relay Posts under heavy enemy shell fire encouraging his men. By his courage and devotion to duty he set a splendid example to the men under his charge and is deserving of special recognition.'
