Military Medal (Vimy Ridge)

During the operations of 9th April at VIMY RIDGE, this N.C.O. greatly distinguished himself during consolidation of our final objective. He took charge of a wiring party in advance of our left Company and though all his party became casualties from snipers, he stuck to his work and himself completed the construction of the wire in front of the position. A short time later, he found himself the senior N.C.O. in his Company and carried on the duties of Company Sergeant Major in a most excellent manner.
