Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in the field east of Le Quesnoy on the 4th November 1918. This NCO was in charge of a section which he led throughout with great dash and initiative. At one stage of the advance he noticed a post holding up the advance on his flank and immediately rushed his section in amongst our barrage and captured the post. His prompt action was of material assistance towards the success of his Company's attack. Later in the day he did valuable work in leading a patrol through the wood in front of the final objective and brought back accurate information. His conduct throughout was most marked for daring and initiative.'
