Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry on the 23rd day of August, 1918, at HERLEVILLE WOOD. During the early part of the attack when the first wave of his platoon was temporarily held up and suffering heavy casualties from enemy machine Guns, this N.C.O. acting on his own initiative ran forward and firing his Lewis Gun from the hip quickly silenced the enemy gun, capturing it and the crew of five men. Later on, at the head of his section, while beating off a counter attack on the right this N.C.O. was severely wounded. His daring and initiative was of the highest order.'
