Distinguished Conduct Medal 'He showed great gallantry on the 3 May, 1918, during the Turkish attack on Amman-road. He went out to dislodge an enemy sniper who had taken up a position within 20 yards of one of our sangars, and accomplished his mission under very heavy rifle and machine gun fire, though wounded whilst doing so. He was in charge of his sangar, and successfully held off the enemy until reinforcements arrived to strengthen the line.'
