'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On the 1st October 1918 during an attack against enemy positions east of Masnieres this NCO displayed great initiative and gallantry when subjected to machine gun fire of great intensity from his left rear. He immediately detached and took charge of a Lewis gun section and, although himself wounded, led the man against the rest of machine guns which was causing so much destruction to our troops. He himself killed several of the enemy and took 6 prisoners and captured 2 machine guns; afterwards taking one gun forward and using it against the enemy. By his prompt and daring action he undoubtedly saved many lives and at the same time inspired his men to a remarkable degree.'

'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During the attack on the 4th inst. north of Le Quesnoy this NCO did gallant and valuable work in the handling of his platoon during the attack, when he exhibited a total disregard for his personal safety. After the final position was reached he undertook the task of locating and overcoming some German snipers who were causing casualties to us with persistent regularity. He went forward alone and was the target for the snipers as he proceeded across the opens. He located and killed one enemy who was actively sniping and by engaging three others caused them to withdraw. Proceeding still further ahead he came upon a field gun being fired at point blank range. He shot and killed the gunner, thus putting the gun out of action. His prompt and daring action undoubtedly saved many lives.'
