Distinguished Conduct Medal

'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During heavy hostile shelling the charges round his mortar were set on fire and were blazing all round the dumps. With utter disregard for his own safety, he put the fire out, undoubtedly saving a serious explosion and the lives of his comrades. His coolness under heavy shell fire has at all times been most marked.'
