Military Medal

On 30th September near YPRES and 1st October 1917 at The MOUND, Polygon Wood, he continued to carry timber under observation from the enemy. Though three times wounded he refused to rest until the work was completed. He was subjected to heavy shell fire and continual sniping. His cheerful devotion to duty set a very fine example.
