Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in the field east of Le Quesnoy on
4th November 1918. After reaching the final objective this NCO took out a small
patrol, pushing back the enemy another 500 yards and capturing several prisoners.
The line was then carried forward. Later he again reconnoitred for 1500 yards
ahead, bringing back valuable information which led to his Company again
advancing the line. His fine leadership and his cheerful disposition throughout set a
fine example to his section.'
