Military Medal 'During the attack on BROODSEINDE on 4th October, 1917, this N.C.O. rendered great assistance to the Officers of his Company in reorganising the men after the capture of the Red Line. He personally led an attack on a machine gun which was holding up our advance to the final objective. By the capture of this gun many casualties were saved. He was most conspicuous for coolness, courage, ready grasp of the situation. During the final assault and consolidation the work of this N.C.O. was superb; his services were invaluable.'
