For conspicuous gallantry and determination at Frameries on 9th November, 1918. He led his platoon forward with such rapidity that he surprised a party of sappers, preparing to move up a road mine. Rushing forward, he shot the man who was in the act of igniting the fuse. The same evening he personally captured a machine gun, disposing of the crew.
