Medals |
Military Medal 'For gallant conduct as a stretcher bearer during the enemy attack near DERNANCOURT on March 28th, 1918. Prior to the enemy launching his attack a heavy artillery barrage was put down on our lines, causing many casualties in De Belin's company. He showed a disregard for the enemy fire and with untiring energy he sought out the wounded and conveyed them to safety. By his courage and skill he saved a number of lives and his endurance was extremely commendable.'
