Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For constant devotion to duty and conspicuous gallantry in the field between March last and the 16 September 1918. On the 9 August, at Rat Wood, near Warfusee Abercourt, when a battery line was cut in numerous places by shell fire, and an important message was awaiting transmission, he took the message and a telephone and followed the line through the zone of shelling to where he could speak to the battery. There he tapped his telephone on to the line, and sent the message. Throughout the operations his work was excellent.'

He remained at his post and maintained communication from Group to Batteries throughout the night, while the Farm was being heavily shelled with H.E. and Gas. The maintenance of communication was largely due to this N.C.O.'s coolness and courage, and the value of the example set to his men cannot be overestimated. on several previous occasions this N.C.O. has displayed remarkable skill and courage.'
