Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When his platoon was held up by machine gun fire at 50 yards range, he rushed ahead with a Lewis gun, firing it from the hip, killing the crew and capturing the gun. On four other occasions during the advance he was largely instrumental in the capture of machine guns and their crews. On reaching the objective he went out with two or three men and a few bombs and collected at least twenty more prisoners. His conduct earned the admiration of his comrades.'
