      London Gazette 20 August 1919, p10586, Rec No 3409 During the attack on Le Quesnoy on the 4th November 1917 and the subsequent advances east of that place this NCO handled his guns in a most gallant and skilful manner. The section had suffered casualties from enemy shell fire and in consequences became disorganised. With disregard of personal safety he reorganised his section and with dauntless courage led forward his guns to positions from which they materially assisted the advances of the Infantry. On all occasions when under fire the example set by this NCO has had a most inspiring effect upon the men under his command. AWMM
