Military Medal 'For gallantry east of Ploegsteert Wood on 14th June 1917. He did valuable patrolling work in the early morning. Coming in contact with an enemy party, he very skillfully led his Section and, effecting a surprise attack, caused the enemy to retire. He then established a line of Snipers Posts and succeeded during the day in sniping about 12 of the enemy in front of La Basse Ville. His work generally has
been of a very high order.'
