Military Medal 'On the 29th of September 1918 during the advance on the Canal de L'Escaut this NCO was in charge of two machine-guns. He made a valuable reconnaissance
under very heavy machine-gun and artillery fire and then took his guns to advanced positions from which he covered the advance of the infantry to the Canal. His initiative, sound judgment and boldness in handling his guns materially assisted the advance and all through the operations he behaved most gallantly and gave great encouragement to his men.'
