M.C. London Gazette 25 July 1916:

‘Captain Norman Lockhart Joynt, M.B., R.A.M.C., Special Reserve (attd. 176th Tunnelling Coy. R.E.).

For conspicuous gallantry. When the enemy exploded a camouflet which choked a mine gallery with foul gas, he at once organized rescue work, going down himself repeatedly with rescue apparatus. Through his cool bravery he succeeded in personally rescuing two men and ensured the quick recovery of others.’
