Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty under heavy fire in clearing casualties from regimental aid post. With great skill and coolness he kept a continuous system of stretcher bearers going. He also went out under heavy shell fire, personally bringing in the wounded and showing great resource in arranging for the removal of the wounded from a congested aid post, placing them on trolleys drawn by a mule, and returning with them to the advanced dressing station.''
Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 219 Date: Bar to Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in charge of stretcher bearers at a forward relay post. When a number of men were wounded at the post he went out under heavy fire and assisted in carrying them in. It was largely owing to his personal example that stretcher bearers kept working for such long periods over muddy and shell torn country without rest or sleep.'
