Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. While he was firing his gun in support an attack several boxes of bombs close to the position were set on fire by a shell. He at once left the shelter of his gun pit, carried the burning bombs away, and dropped them into a shell hole. His prompt and courageous action prevented many casualties in his detachment, and set a fine example to his men.'
