'Operations: British Front opposite Beaumont Hamel, 26th March 1918 and subsequent days. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During the above operations this NCO worked unnecessarily to establish communication between Company, Battalion, and Brigade Headquarters. On the 5th April 1918 during an exceptionally heavy bombardment he went out under heavy shell fire and endeavoured to maintain the wires between Company and Battalion Headquarters, and after working continuously for 12 hours was eventually successful in establishing communication. The splendid example of coolness and courage set by him was beyond praise, and his cheerfulness and determination were a continual source of inspiration to all during a very trying time.'

'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty near Ruyaulcourt during the 4th/6th September, 1918, when he, with another battalion signaller, was continuously out mending wire. During all the actions which his battalion has been in since the 23rd August, 1918, he has again and again faced almost certain death, and continued to maintain telephonic communication between units. On one occasion during very heavy shelling and in the dark, although thrown over by concussion from a shell, he, accompanied by another battalion signaller, mended ten breaks between Batt. H.Q. and Metz, and enabled the battalion to keep in touch with Bde. H.Q. at a very critical time. His coolness under fire and disregard for his own personal safety were an inspiring example to all ranks.'
