Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He led a bombing attack through enemy trenches against continuous opposition. When the attack at other points was held up by an enemy machine gun, he kept it out of action until his company was able to proceed. It was in a great measure due to his almost reckless courage and personal example that his party was successful.'
