Military Medal Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 76 Date: Bar to Military Medal 'This N.C.O. was in charge of ambulance bearers attached to the 17th A.I. Battalion, Australian Infantry Force during recent operations. On the 31st August 1918 during our attack on MONT ST QUENTIN, near PERONNE, he volunteered to lead a party of stretcher bearers to a forward post through heavy fire to collect four wounded men. It was owing to this N.C.Os great courage and coolness in leading his men that these casualties were at length got to a position of safety. The post was under heavy machine gun and sniping fire at the time. He worked incessantly for 18 hours and displayed at all times an unselfish disregard of his own safety and devotion to duty.'
