Military Medal 'This stretcher bearer's conduct during the attack in the vicinity of LAMOTTE-en-SANTERRE, East of AMIENS, on 8th August, 1918, was nothing short of valorous. He went to the assistance of wounded and dressed their wounds under very heavy shell and machine gun fire. He carried wounded to the dressing station and returned again and again to his task of caring for and dressing the wounded. When he had completed his work with his unit he went to the assistance of a neighbouring unit, and with untiring energy continued his magnificent work. Through his self-sacrifice, determination and devotion to duty under exceptionally trying conditions he won the admiration of all and set a magnificent example to the men assisting him in his work.'
