Distinguished Conduct Medal 'Throughout the operations from Villers-Bretonneux to Peronne, from 8 August to 5 September, 1918, he has shown conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Repeatedly it has been through his utter disregard for personal safety that his guns have been brought into action to afford the utmost support to our infantry, and have in consequence materially assisted in the success of these operations. He has throughout the period 25 February to 16 September 1918, set a splendid example of courage and devotion to duty.'
