Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous devotion to duty during the attack west of Bellenglise, north of St. Quentin, on the 18 September, 1918. After the carrying parties for the two Stokes mortars became disconnected owing to fog, he went out and found them, getting the ammunition to the objective as soon as same was gained. During the exploiting patrol work, in the afternoon of the 18th he kept touch with the two sections of guns and saw that ammunition was kept up to the mortars. Throughout the operations he showed great gallantry and zeal.'
