Military Medal 'For conspicuous courage and gallantry. On 4th November 1918, near Villereau when his platoon was held up by four Machine Guns, his personal reconnaissances, and quick decision and action, were the means of effectively dispatching the gun crews, and capturing the guns. This prevented the many casualties which otherwise must have been sufered, and enabled the whole Company to advance. His work throughout was most brilliant, and later when the platoon Officer was wounded he commanded the platoon efficiently and effectively.'
