Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty at VILLE-sur-ANCRE, South West of ALBERT, on 4th July 1918. When a machine gun on the flank of his platoon was causing casualties he ran along the trench bombing the garrison, and put the machine gun out of action, killing or taking prisoner the crew. His prompt actions and disregard of danger undoubtedly relieved a situation which was becoming serious.'
