Prior to a night attack on the enemy's trenches, he crawled out with a corporal and in 4 1/2 hours cut a passage through the enemy's wire just under a machine gun. He then joined in the assault, was one of the first to enter the enemy's trenches and displayed great courage". 1914-15 Star, British War Medal, Victory Medal.
