Distinguished Conduct Medal ‘For most conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty east of LE QUESNOY on 4th November, 1918. During the attack, whilst doing conspicuously good work throughout the day he rushed two machine-gun posts and captured the garrison. Later, with two men, he was instrumental in capturing a battery of 4.2 and 7.7 mm guns, taking prisoners three of the crew. His exceptional coolness and magnificent dash were a very fine example to the men in his platoon.’
