Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Distinguished Service Order

'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during an attack. After the aid post had been blown up he attended the wounded and organized bearer parties in the open. Though wounded, he persisted in his work until disabled by another wound.'
