Military Medal 'This man was conspicuous amongst many brave men for his coolness and courage during the assault on the HINDENBUR Line near REINCOURT on the morning of the 11th April, 1917. After getting through the enemy's barbed wire entanglements, he helped other men also to get through at the risk of almost certain death from enemy Machine Gun fire which was pouring in from all directions. His fine example and bravery and devotion to duty under most trying circumstances is worthy of the highest commendation and went far towards keeping up the courage of many younger soldiers, for whom this was their first fight. He is recommended for distinction.'
