Medals |
Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and most valuable service in command of a section of the Brigade carriers during the attack on the HINDENBURG Line on 3rd May 1917. The work was most Ardious and to the full as dangerous as work in the trenches after the assault. It is in great part due to the fine example set by this N.C.O. in pushing up supplies regardless of risks that the loads so necessary to the defence were delivered regularly and complete.'
