Military Medal 'Near MT. ST. QUENTIN North of PERONNE on 1st September 1918, after the attack had been successful, and the position consolidated this man attended to several slightly wounded men and sent them to the rear. He then, by himself, bandaged and carried several badly wounded men to a collecting post. The area was continually under heavy artillery and machine gun fire. As stretcher bearers were not available he continued with this good work until all our wounded had been collected. He then reported back to his Platoon for duty.'
