Military Medal 'On September 2nd and 3rd, 1918 in the neighbourhood of PERONNE this N.C.O. in charge of bearer squads evacuating wounded from R.A.P. of the 15th Australian Infantry Brigade displayed the greatest courage in maintaining a steady evacuation and in bringing up supplies to the R.A.Ps. On the night of the 3rd September under heavy machine gun fire and shell fire, he at great personal risk established contact with R.A.Ps thereby avoiding a congestion of wounded. His personal cheerfulness and courage stimulated the bearers under his charge, and he set a splendid example to them all.'
