Military Medal 'On 12th October, 1917, East of YPRES, for conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty in action. This N.C.O. worked in the open at the R.A.P. under constant intense shell fire directing traffic, controlling and organising prisoners for stretcher bearing and generally assisted in the care and evacuation of the wounded. During the whole time, he worked with an utter disregard for his own safety and by his cheerfulness and confidence did much to reassure the wounded under very trying circumstances.'
