Medals |
Military Medal 'On 4th October 1917, East of YPRES, he displayed conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in action. This man acted as Stretcher Bearer continuously during two days in spite of the fact that he was suffering intensely from sore feet. He often had to carry a distance of over two miles. He showed great initiative in getting the wounded back under very difficult conditions and the R.M.O. speaks very highly of the manner in which he carried out his work and of his absolute disregard of self.'
