Military Medal 'On 12th October 1917, East of YPRES for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in action. This man worked continuously for forty eight hours, carrying messages through heavy barrages and over ground swept by Machine Gun fire. On one occasion, he worked his way forward for some hundreds of yards in order to get a message forward although he was sniped all the way by several enemy. When not carrying messages, he carried wounded, on one occasion going into enemy territory and bringing back wounded. His courage, endurance and devotion to duty were magnificent example to others.'
