'Operations in front of Beaudignies and Le Quesnoy from October, 23rd to November 7th 1918, and especially on November, 7th. For gallantry and devotion to duty. On October, 23rd he was sent by a Regimental Medical Officer to the car post to bring up a stretcher squad. On the way back a shell burst killing and wounding the whole of the squad. Although badly shaken and the shell fire was intense this man dressed the wounded and carried them to safety and then went back and brought up another squad under heavy shell fire. He then carried on with his work as a bearer. His coolness under fire and determination to do this duty was a magnificent example to the other bearers and helped the Medical Officer greatly in keeping his post clear.'
