The DCM - as far as I can see without citation - was awarded after the war, according to an army order concerning prisoners of war. As the awards list states St Quentin (German spring offensive 1918?) I would say the recommendation was made for an action at St Quentin, that was brought to the notice of the awarding authorities after his release as a POW.
I'm sure someone here can tell you more
