Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When his platoon commander and N.C.O.'s had become casualties he immediately organized a platoon and led them to the assault of enemy posts, which he captured and consolidated with the utmost skill and good judgment. His conduct and his skilful handling proved a great stimulus to all his men, both during the assault and under heavy artillery fire, during the whole of which time he displayed a total disregard of danger.'
