On the 1st October 1918 during an attack on enemy positions east of Manieres, this N.C.O. who was in charge of a left flank platoon, showed most magnificent courage and ability in the handling of his men. At a very critical stage during an enemy counter attack, although wounded, this N.C.O. remaned with his platoon and organized a defensive attack. He personally supervised the retirement of his men under intense enemy fire, and by his splendid example and excellent command enabled his platoon to reach the defensive line without being surrounded and cut off. After satisfying himself that the enemy attack had been stopped, he handed over his command and went back to have his wounds dressed. His conduct throught-out was magnificent and he inspired his men in a most remarkable manner.

Barman Military Medal Sergeant, 1st Battalion, Auckland Infantry Regiment L.G. 17th December 1917, p13201, Rec No 1393. For conspicuous gallantry in the field. East of St Julien on the 4th October, this N.C.O. went into the attack as Commander of a mopping up platoon, which he handled with capability and coolness throughout. At the commencement of the advance severe opposition was met with at Aviatic Farm and it was largely due to the capable manner in which this N.C.O. handled his platoon that the garrison of this strong point was overcome and accounted for. Very severe fighting occurred here and throughout he exhibited extraordinary coolness. His actions throughout the day, until wounded showed him possessed of splendid courage and fine leadership.
