BEF France & Flanders
On 23 May 1940 at Douain he showed great coolness and courage in the face of enemy tanks and air attacks, having been forced with 2 other men to take cover in a building from enemy tanks he decided to fetch assistance. Under heavy fire he recovered his motor cycle from a ditch and rode to a nearby brick kiln where he expected to find our troops. Failing to find them he rode back and conveyed the other two men in turn on the pillion of his motorcycle to a place of safety from which they later rejoined our troops. All this was done under continuous fire.
