Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty under most critical and dangerous conditions. His battery was under heavy shell fire, and the whole of the camouflage was burning. At great personal risk he led a party of volunteers to extinguish the fire, which was threatening very serious explosions amongst the ammunition at any moment, and by his energy and courage disaster was averted.'
