Meritorious Service Medal 'During the operations covering the period September, to November, 1918, this N.C.O. has carried out the duties of Battery Q.M.S. He has proved himself at all times to be courageous and untiring in his efforts to maintain the supply of rations to the battery during the advance. His general bearing as a soldier under all circumstances and keen foresight, has been most conspicuous, with the result that during periods of great stress and hardship, the latter quality has assisted materially in the comfort and health of the men. His conduct has earned him the respect of all who came in contact with him.'
