Son of B KING, Heywood, Vic.
Distinguished Conduct Medal
'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He led his section forward to an attack, and bombed two dug outs, which each contained a machine gun crew. As he advanced towards the final objective, he shot an enemy machine gunnerj, who was enfilading his company, and cleared a series of enemy posts with bombs and rifle fire. He showed splendid courage and initiative.'
