Newspaper Clipping
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.
