​For marked gallantry in action. Near S'ancourt on 30th September 1918, when the Battery was moving to positions under heavy enemy shelling, he though wounded, stuck to his gun and put it in action. When a lull occurred in the enemy fire, he led the ammunition wagons in and took charge of the unloading of ammunition.
