Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For courageous devotion to duty and initiative in execution of his work. On 10th March last he was detailed to a battery as instructor in dug out construction. At the commencement of a hostile attack on 22nd March, the message to recall him having miscarried, he stayed with the battery for five days and assisted in both working the gun and establishing a new position when the battery withdrew. On his own initiative he opened up a partly demolished dug out, and so provided cover for the gun crew during a period of intense hostile shelling.'
