Military Medal 'For gallantry and devotion to duty, during the attack on the Hindenburg Line near LE VERGUIER 18th September 1918. He took a gun over with the attacking Infantry and under very heavy shell and Machine Gun fire he pushed forward and took up a position, from which he gave direct covering fire to the attacking Infantry, greatly assisting in the advance, and by keeping the Bosch down, saved many casualties from enemy rifle fire. His disregard for danger sets a splendid example to all.'
