D.C.M. London Gazette 26 September 1916: ‘For conspicuous gallantry during operations. When his stretcher-bearers were dazed by the intense shell fire he jumped on the parapet and with the assistance of an orderly carried the first case through the barrage. The other bearers at once followed his lead.’
