Medals |
Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. The battery was very heavily shelled, several casualties were caused, and a gun pit was set alight. With three others he immediately went to the assistance of the wounded, and by pulling away the burning material and extinguishing the fire they not only saved the lives of the wounded men, but prevented an explosion of the ammunition. He was under shell fire throughout, and showed the greatest courage and initiative.'
