Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During an attack on an enemy position, which resulted in the capture of a strong point, he behaved with great gallantry and rendered valuable assistance to his platoon commander, whom he replaced when the former was wounded until another officer arrived. Later on he advanced, and bombed an enemy machine gun, which was causing many casualties to our men, and put it out of action. His conduct and example greatly helped to secure the success of the operation.'
