Military Medal : During the action at SANGSHAK from 22 to 26 March 1944 this NCO was working almost continuously under fire, nursing the wounded in the Dressing Station, preparing wounded for operation, sterilizing instruments, and assisting at operations. Finally, when the Dressing Station was moved, he assisted in carrying the wounded to safety and organised a party to bring in essential medical equipment under heavy fire. The high level of work of all men of the unit should be considered in this award.
