Military Medal 'At HANEBEKE WOOD on 20th September 1917 this N.C.O. throughout the attack displayed great initiative and determination. After gaining the Battalion objective he was badly wounded, but refused to be taken back. He had shrapnel bullets through his leg, above the knee. In this condition he carried on for over an hour, moving about and assisting greatly in the work of consolidation until badly wounded a second time, this time he sustained a badly shattered arm, and he was carried out. His extraordinary courage and devotion to duty was a magnificent example and inspired all those who came in contact with him.'
