Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For gallantry and devotion to duty during a continuous period of bridge building along the Somme. Day after day he kept his men together, working under most trying conditions. The shelling was often very heavy, but he never failed to inspire those working under him, and kept them searching out material and erecting bridges.'
