Military Medal 'During the operations near BELLICOURT from the 30th September to 2nd October 1918 this N.C.O. displayed most conspicuous bravery and determination. Early in the attack he rushed an enemy Machine Gun Post killing two of the garrison and putting the gun out of action. During the bombing attack up the main enemy trench he rendered invaluable assistance in keeping up the supply of grenades by collecting them from casualties and by salvaging German grenades and also took a leading part in clearing the enemy from the trench. Throughout the whole operation he displayed considerable dash and initiative and gave the greatest possible assistance to his Platoon Commander.'
