D.C.M. London Gazette 11 March 1916 ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When the enemy exploded a mine he went down at once and rescued a man buried in the debris. He then went into another gallery at great personal risk to see if the sentry had got away. He was severely burnt, but was able to report that all the men were safe.’
