Biography

DCM citation: For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in charge of the bearer parties in the forward area. He followed up the attacking battalions under heavy enemy fire, close behind the barrage, and rendered first aid to many severely wounded men, thereby saving many lives. He worked unremittingly for long hours over very difficult country.
