Military Medal 'During the attack near VILLERET on the Brown Line on 18th September, 1918, this N.C.O. showed great initiative and devotion to duty. During the advance, having lost touch with part of his platoon and finding a number of men with no-one in charge of them, he collected and organised this party and pushed forward close to the barrage to fill a gap in the line of the attacking wave. In the assault on trenches at CAUTION DUGOUT near the objective his skilful handling of his men enabled the right flank to swing around and effect the capture of CAUTION DUGOUT with very slight casualties. His gallantry and personal disregard of danger were most inspiring to his platoon.'
