CITATION:

Military Medal : Lion sur Mer, 6th-7th June 1944.

This NCO assumed the duties of Signal Officer on the beach where his officer was wounded. Throughout the two days action he has displayed great determination and efficiency in maintaining communications. Often under fire he visited his outstations repeatedly and on one occasion successfully laid a line in spite of being sniped at. His personal example resulted in a high standard of communications.
