An officer wrote:
' I have known him since the Bedford days, and have always found him one who did his duty in spite of all danger and was always cheerful and most obliging.'

Another wrote:
'He was one of themen of the company who could be relied on to do a piece of work well and his death is a great loss to the company.
It was only the other day he was handed a card of congratulation from the G.O.C. of the Division on his bravery , and we hoped that very soon he would be presented withe the Military Medal, which he so richly deserved.'

A comrade wrote:
'There is not another whom I ever met whom I shall miss more.
He had been with me in many a tight corner and I know his real worth as only one man know another.'
