Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty as sergeant of the 'mopping up" party. Although wqqounded badly in both legs, he refused to go out of action, and, single handed, took six prisoners. When ordered to go back to the dressing station he took back prisoners with him and before getting his wounds dressed, sent in a report on the situation at a time when it was obscure. His courage and devotion to duty were of the highest quality, and his work throughout the operations worthy of the highest praise.'
