Military Medal 'On the 7th/8th and 9th June, 1917, during the operations south of MESSINES, this man was a membr of the leading waves of the assault and was largely responsible for the capture of seven prisoners including two Officers and for the killing of several others. When his wave reached its objective he moved forward for a distance of 200 yards and silenced several snipers who were causing casualties in our ranks. At this point he also brought in an enemy mchine gun. He remained in a listening post throughout the night, and was later buried by exploding shells and had to be dug out, but nevertheless remained gallantly at his post under heavy fire. He had done excellent work as a scout on previous occasions.'
