Médaille Militaire
"Non-commissioned officer of incomparable courage and spirit. A the start of the war he was with the engineers, and always volunteered for the most dangerous missions. Transferred to aviation, he is a model of audacity and strength. He downed with astonishing speed his third, fourth and fifth enemy planes in three days. Four citations." Médaille Militaire citation, 16 June 1918
