Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry at HAMEL WOOD, south east of CORBIE on 4th July, 1918. This N.C.O. was in charge of a Section carrying barbed wire and was himself loaded with a coil of wire. Immediately on leaving the jumping off tape he was severely wounded, one arm being rendered useless. Despite his wound he led his Section to the dump arriving with a complete load, and carrying on to his objective disposed his men on their line. At this stage he collapsed from strain and loss of blood. He set an inspiring example and concealed the severity of his wound until his task was completed.'
