Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For most conspicuous gallantry in the operations of 3 October, 1918, near Estrees, north of St. Quentin. His company met with unbroken wire in front of the objective, and came under heavy machine gun fire. He found an opening through the wire, and rushed single handed, through the gap to a machine gun post which was holding up his company. He himself killed two of the crew, capturing the remaining four and the gun. He did splendid work.'
