Military Medal

'For conspicuous courage and gallantry. On 4th November 1918, near Pont de L'Alouette he took part in the capture of an active battery of Field Guns. The first three guns having been taken, he rushed ahead alone, about 150 yards and captured the three remaining Guns in spite of heavy machine-gun fire. His initiative and daring were a splendid example to the platoon and he led his section through the advance with the greatest gallantry and skill.'
