Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He, single handed, captured a machine gun with its crew of five men in an enemy redoubt. This gun was the means of holding a strong position, and by his prompt and gallant action, under a very heavy fire, he thus materially assisted in the successful assault upon the objective and saving many lives. His courageous conduct was most exemplary.
