Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in the field east of Le Quesnoy on 4th November 1918. This NCO stood out in his Company for fearless leadership and fire control of his section in action. He many times rushed into the barrage to take a post before our artillery fire lifted, and throughout the day displayed extraordinary courage and tireless energy. He was an example to the whole platoon whom he inspired with confidence and enthusiasm, and his work contributed very largely to the success achieved by his Company.'
