Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For most conspicuous gallantry and initiative during operations on 18 September, 1918, north west of St. Quentin. During the advance, a large gap occurred between our left flank and another unit, threatening to leave both unit flanks in a precarious condition. He, in face of heavy machine gun fire, displayed great courage and fine resourcefulness in bringing up the left unit's flank thus restoring the position. Later, under intense fire, he crawled up and located two enemy machine guns.'
