Distinguished Conduct Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in command of a party of stretcher-bearers. He worked fearlessly and continuously both in "No Man's Land" and in our own front line under very heavy fire. Later, although himself wounded, he continued to tend the wounded unil the completion of the operations.'

On 10 November took a patrol to Givry, then 5,000 yards in front of front line with a mission to report on roads, railways and crossings over river to Givry, his patrol met with very heavy fire but carved out their job and his extrication of his men in the face of the machine gun fire was a masterly piece of leadership. His reports were very exact and the G.O.C. Brigade personally complimented him on all occasions during these operations this NCO has proved fearless and resourceful.'
