| Medals |
Military Medal 'He was in charge of a 6" Newton Trench Mortar emplaced in our front line trench for the purpose of cutting enemy wire about 2000 yards north east of WESTHOEK, 23rd September, 1917. During very heavy shelling, this N.C.O.'s gun was completely buried, most of the detachment killed and several buried. Seargeant CARTER rescued the buried men and, finding his gun was out of actiion, organised a party and carried his ammunition under heavy fire to the next gunpit. He behaved with great gallantry and remarkable coolness under heavy fire and set a most excellent example to his detachment during the whole of this operation.'
