Military Medal (London Gazette, No. 29719, dated 23-August-1916) "On 2nd June 1916, in the vicinity of The Dump he volunteered to go out on patrol with a staff Captain to a point suspected as being in the hands of the enemy, with a view to getting definite information. When 300 yards from our trenches they were attacked by ten of the enemy, but stood their ground, covering the retirement of the rest of the party. They dispersed the enemy killing two of them."
