Military Medal 'By his example in carrying water and ammunition forward to the firing line across open ground, he was able to inspire others to assist and it was very largely due to his energy and initiative that this portion of the line was kept supplied. He was frequently a volunteer to carry messages under heavy fire across the open.'
