Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For marked gallantry and initiative, During the advance across l'Ecaillon River, Beaudignies, on the 24th October, 1918, our line was held up after crossing the river by machine gun fire from the front and from both flanks. He crawled forward with his gun team to a position whence he could enfilade the enemy, and by his fire covered the advanced of the platoon on the right which worked round and
brought enfilade fire to bear on the trenches. On this the enemy surrendered, and three officers, 75 ordinary ranks, and six light and one heavy machine guns were captured. He did excellent work.'
