Military Medal 'For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty. During the offensive east of YPRES on 4th October, 1917 and the following days, when in charge of a Bearer subdivision, his utter disregard of personal danger in the execution of his duty of organising his bearers, was a fine example to his men. He repeatedly went backwards and forwards through the enemy barrage, re-organising squads depleted by casualties, and directing and guidng others to Regimental Aid Posts when they were wounded for evacuation.'
