Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During the period under review he has on many occasions displayed great gallantry and devotion to duty, reconnoitring the enemy defences almost every night the battalion was in the line, in spite of all the difficulties of bad ground and heavy machine gun fire that was often encountered, never failing to bring back most valuable information in each
occasion. His coolness in action and good leadership have been fine examples to the men under his command.'
