Military Medal 'In No Man's Land in front T 89 & T 88 Armentieres. Did excellent work in command of the scouts and wiring party, in the raid of the 2nd Wellington Regiment, leading the way through the gap in the enemy's wire. He assisted wounded raiders home
under fire. This was on the night 2nd/3rd July 1916.'
Source: London Gazette Date: Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during an attack upon an enemy position. His coolness under intense shell fire was magnificent and he was of the greatest assistance to his company commander when all but one of his platoon commanders had become casualties. Time after time he visited the outposts and kept his officer informed as to the situation, and the example which he set throughout the whole operation was most inspiring to all with whom he came in contact.'
