For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty as a stretcher bearer. After a raid he found himself isolated with several wounded men in a shell hole close to the enemy's lines for a period of two days and a night. During this time, with splendid and unselfish devotion, he deprived himself of his clothing to make his wounded comrades more comfortable, and eventually brought them back to our lines safely, although in an exhausted condition himself.

TYNE COT CEMETERY Belgium
Tyne Cot Cemetery is located 9 Km north east of Ieper town centre on the Tynecotstraat, a road leading from the Zonnebeekseweg (N332). The cemetery itself lies 700 meters along the Tynecotstraat on the right hand side of the road.
Tyne Cot or Tyne Cottage was the name given by the Northumberland Fusiliers to a barn which stood near the level crossing on the Passchendaele-Broodseinde road. Three of these blockhouses still stand in the cemetery; the largest, which was captured on 4 October 1917 by the 3rd Australian Division, was chosen as the site for the Cross of Sacrifice by King George V during his pilgrimage to the cemeteries of the Western Front in Belgium and France in 1922.
The Tyne Cot Cemetery is now the resting-place of nearly 12,000 soldiers of the Commonwealth Forces, the largest number of burials of any Commonwealth cemetery of either world war.
