Meritorious Service Medal
'For conspicuous good work and devotion to duty. This N.C.O. since 25th February 1918 to 16th September 1918 has been doing duty as Brigade Section Mechanic, and has carried out his duties, under very adverse circumstances in a highly efficient manner. At Hamel on 4th July 1918 and Chipilly on 10th August 1918 he when all linesmen were out on faults went out and mended breaks under heavy shellfire. His work has been characterised at all times by great cheerfulness and has set a splendid example to the men of his section.'
