Medals |
Military Medal 'This Non-Commissioned Officer is brought to notice for most conspicuous gallantry, ability and devotion to duty in an attack on LE VERGUIER on 18th September 1918. A few hours before ZERO this Non-Commissioned Officer made a personal reconnaissance of the Company Sector, and cut gaps in the enemy wire in rear of his Advanced posts. During the subsequent advance he guided Platoons through these gaps with great skill and judgment. His disregard for personal safety and general example to the men throughout the whole operation was an inspiration to all ranks and he is confidently recommended for high distinction.'
