Military Medal 'He was in charge of a carrying party at Hebuterne at 10 pm on 24th July 1918. While the party was accompanying the G.S. wagon through the village a shell struck the wagon, wounding 3 men of his party, the driver and a horse, and scattering the remainder of his party. This caused horses to bolt,and eventually they got entangled in a belt of barbed wire. Although still under shellfire, tis N.C.O. succeeded in extricating the horses from the wire after much difficulty. He then reassembled his party, and despite continuance of shellfire succeeded in getting material delivered to the forward line. He set a fine example throughout.'
