D.C.M. London Gazette 3 February 1920 (details 13 July 1920): Archangel Command, North Russia, “For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty on the 5th April 1919. When the enemy attacked Sred-Mekrenya he organised a party of stretcher bearers and took them out under heavy fire to collect wounded. He continued at this work for a considerable time, and was the means of saving several lives.”
