Military Medal 'On 26th August 1918 near Bapaume. Whilst the Battery was taking part in a barrage it was subjected to exceptionally heavy shelling by the enemy. This NCO showed great coolness and bravery throughout, and when a direct hit on an ammunition dump set it burning, he, at great risk to himself, succeeded in extinguishing the fire, and getting the gun into action again.'
