Military Medal 'During the operation south of MORLANCOURT near ALBERT, on the night 10/11th June, 1918, this N.C.O. fought with great courage. At one point where the advance was checked by a strong point with a machine gun, he organised and led a party which rushed the enemy post, killing some and taking the rest of the garrison prisoners. He did splendid work during re-organisation, showing a splendid example in coolness and courage, to his men.'
