Military Medal
'On 4th October 1917, east of Ypres, he displayed conspicuous gallantry and ability in action. As Signalling Sergeant, he did excellent work under difficult conditions. he had to work constantly under very heavy fire but he organised his Stations in such away and so encouraged his men that the signalling arrangements were all that could be desired. His example was an inspiration to all Signalling personnel.'
