Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry on the night of 9th-10th May 1915, near Gaba Tepe (Dardanelles). During a sortie from quinn's Post, L/Cpl. Cawley accompanied by another non-commissioned officer advanced with great coolness and courage past the first line of the enemy's trenches to a tent some distance in the rear. They killed all the occupants and cut the telephone wires which connected it with the fire trenches thus preventing communication from the rear.'
