Military Medal 'At Flers on the 16th September, when the Germans had been driven along the trench captured by us and a block was being constructed, this man organised and
led a small clearing party further along the Trench to protect those working on the block. He displayed great resourcefulness and courage in leading this party, and afterwards resisting bombing attacks by the enemy.'
Source: London Gazette Date: Military Cross 'For most conspicuous gallantry and skill. On 4th October, 1918, near Le Quesnoy, when an enemy machine-gun threatened to check his platoon, he attacked the gun, capturing it and killing the crew. Again, near Villereau, he similarly overcame machine gun resistance. His work during the operations was most brilliant, and led in a great measure to the capture of several field guns.'
