Military Medal 'Bravery and devotion to duty at VILLERS BRETONNEUX night 24th/25th April, 1918. As one of the gun numbers in the advance he was severely wounded, but, refusing to leave or give up his load of S.A.A. until the objective was reached and the guns in action, he, by his example and great cheerfulness under heavy fire - several members of gun teams having been killed or wounded - greatly inspired the remaining men.'
