Military Medal 'Whilst the Battalion was in the front line north west of POZIERES, 29th to 31st August, 1916, he several times went forward to attend to wounded men when it was impossible for the stretcher bearers to bring them to Regimental Aid Post. On one occasion he stopped to dress a man who had just been severely wounded, and, though walking was next to impossible owing to the heavy mud, succeeded in dragging him to a place of safety; this action being carried out under heavy shelling. When his Battalion was relieved he remained behind to make a final inspection to assure himself that all wounded had been evacuated. Both on GALLIPOLI from landing to evacuation, and in FRANCE, the services of this N.C.O. and his devotion to duty have been conspicuous.'
