Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty while in charge of a Lewis gun section in an advanced post. Noticing a movement in front he immediately jumped
over the top and ran to the wire, where he found an enemy officer with ten men behind him. He shot the officer with his revolver, and caused the rest to bolt under Lewis gun fire. This NCO 's dash and gallantry on this and many other occasions had
a most inspiring effect on all ranks.'
