Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Though the enemy were shelling heavily with gas and high explosive shells, he volunteered to get forward a light railway train of ammunition to a battery which was in urgent need of it. The train was derailed several times, but he made two journeys to the battery with ammunition, though he was suffering from the effects of gas. It was solely owing to his personal example that the work was accomplished.'
