Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When his platoon came under very heavy machine gun and rifle fire from an enemy strong point during an attack on the enemy's positions, Corporal Burt and a comrade advanced with a Lewis gun in front of their platoon and directed such an accurate demoralizing fire on the enemy that forty of them with four machine guns surrendered to these two men, to whose courage and unhesitating action this valuable success was due.'
