Military Medal 'On morning of 5th October, 1918, near MONTBREHAIN, north of ST. QUENTIN he acted as a stretcher bearer for his platoon. Throughout the whole of the operations this man greatly distinguished himself by his gallantry and devotion to duty in bandaging and bringing in wounded, many times rescued under exceptionally heavy point blank enemy fire, regardless of the danger to which he exposed himself. He was instrumental in saving the lives of many of his comrades.'
