Medals |
Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. This man volunteered as a stretcher bearer to a raiding party, and soon after starting the other bearer became a casualty. During the next four hours he worked with the greatest gallantry and devotion to duty, under heavy fire, single handed, bringing in the casualties, his work being rendered peculiarly difficult as the standing crops in k"No Man's Land" made it necessary to search for casualties at times right up the enemy's wire.'
