Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For marked courage and initiative. On 4th November 1918, near Pont de l'Alouette his platoon came under very heavy machine gun fire. He pushed on ahead, located the enemy gun, and, bringing enfilade fire to bear, forced the crew to abandon the gun. He then rushed alone into the trench, taking the garrison, fifteen in number, prisoners. His prompt and courageous action undoubtedly saved the company
many casualties. He did fine work.'
