Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During a very heavy gas and high explosive bombardment, which cut all the telephone lines, this N.C.O. worked for two hours in a small box-respirator on the lines, and succeeded in establishing communication. On returning to his battery, he assisted in putting out fires and saving two guns from damage. His resourcefulness and courage set a fine example to all.'
