      London Gazette 17 June 1919, p7701, Rec No 3131 Operations around Beaudignies and Le Quesnoy from October 23rd to November 7th. For gallantry and devotion to duty. This man was runner to the Officer in charge of the forward evacuations during the advance. He showed the greatest devotion to duty and contempt for danger carrying messages night and day to the forward regimental aid posts. In spite of heavy shelling of the road and tracks and suffering from the effects of mustard gas he continued with his work and only stopped when all the wounded were evacuated. His courage under fire and devotion to duty was a great example to others and helped greatly in keeping the posts clear of wounded. AWMM
