Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty as a stretcher bearer. When his company was in support and suffered heavy casualties, including nearly all the stretcher bearers, he showed great gallantry in attending to the wounded under heavy shell fire. Later during an attack, he established an aid post on his own initiative and attended to all the wounded in his part of the line. He showed great initiative in organizing bearer parties, and set a splendid example to all.'
