Military Medal 'At POLYGON WOOD on 26/28th September, 1917, although the No. 1 of his Lewis Gun team had been killed and the remainder disorganised, this soldier, realizing the seriousness of the situation caused by the troops on the right falling back, seized a tactical position and by skilful handling of his gun, brought enfilade fire to bear with such success on the 'pill-boxes' at JERK HOUSE, that supports were able to come up and dig in safety. His quick and decisive action had a great deal to do with the saving of the right flank of the Division.'
