Sgt Richardson was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for showing "great coolness and devotion to duty" on the mornings of 17 and 18 October 1918, while his Battery was under enemy attack. He was also awarded the Military Medal for "consistant good service and devotion to duty, throughout operations at Robecq, Strazelle, and the present Somme operations, from 8 August, 1918, onwards."
