Medals |
Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. With 70 men he completed a sap 130 yards long, of considerable width and depth, between our old front line and a newly captured enemy trench. The work was conducted under heavy shelling and machine gun fire, and completed in an hour and a half from the time he placed his working party on their task, when the second wave left our trenches. His personal example and disregard of danger largely contributed to the success and rapidity with which the work was accomplished.'
