Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in the field at Briastre on 11th and 12th October 1918. This NCO was in charge of a forward party of linesman and maintained communication between the front line Companies and Battalion H.Q. throughout the above operations. The enemy's shell fire was exceptionally heavy and the work of maintenance was rendered both difficult and dangerous, but this NCO displayed an utter contempt for the hostile shelling and by his personal bravery and untiring perseverance he enabled most important messages to be put through. Throughout the operations the courage of this NCO was most
conspicuous and his leadership was an outstanding example to the men of his section.'
