Military Medal 'East of Ypres on the 4th October 1917 this stretcher bearer throughout the operations showed the greatest courage and utmost devotion to duty working in the open under heavy shellfire, bandaging, carrying, and collecting the wounded. He also collected prisoners and organised carrying parties of them to remove wounded to the Regimental Aid Post, and later when his Company was consolidating its objective, and was subjected to heavy shellfire, he never ceased to work in the open till he had the wounded under cover. His extraordinary devotion to duty in very dangerous positions was a magnificent example to his comrades.'
