Distinguished Service Order 'Operations around Solesmes, Beaudignies, Le Quesnoy and on edge of Mormal Forest from October 23rd to November 7th 1918. For gallantry and devotion to duty. This Officer was in charge of the forward evacuations during the advance from Briastre to edge of Mormal Wood. During the whole period he visited the regimental aid posts keeping them clear night and day and although the advance was rapid by his coolness and ingenuity he brought ambulance cars right forward to the advanced posts. Most of this work was done under very heavy shell, machine-gun and sniper fire. Although suffering from the effects of gas during the attack on Beaudignies he kept on and by his devotion to duty and gallantry under fire he was instrumental in getting all the wounded back safely and keeping the posts clear besides being a tower of strength to the Regimental Medical Officers and bearers under his charge. His work has always been of high merit.'
