Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. This N.C.O. was one of a party detailed to construct four bridges on two consecutive nights preparatory to an attack. He made a preliminary reconnaissance of the riber banks, and helped to locate some active machine guns. IOn launching the bridges on the second night, he was in charge of most of the constructional work, which was admirably carried out, in spite of four serious casualties. He was largely instrumental in the task being completed in time to enable a successful flank attack to be made.'
