For bravery in the field. At Monchy-le-Preux on 14th April 1917, he showed great gallantry and devotion to duty. He went out under heavy shell fire and superintended the bringing in of the wounded from the front. He returned to the Aid Post through a heavy barrage for more stretchers, went forward again and collected more wounded. Afterwards he performed invaluable work helping at the Aid Post under an intense bombardment during which the Aid Post was blown in.
