Medals Military Medal
'On the 7th/8th and 9th June, 1917, during the operations south of MESSINES for initiative and promptitude in the transmission of information, and for bravery under fire. This N.C.O. carried out the duties of an operator at the Brigade Forward Station and acted splendidly whilst under heavy shell fire. On one occasion he returned through a heavy enemy barrage to Hill 63 to organise a visual signal station, and showed a total disregard for danger. He remained on duty for the whole period of the action, and his efforts were untiring in the carrying out of the duties allotted to him.'
