Military Cross 'For gallantry and devotion to duty in command of a machine gun company during the attack on the Hindenburg LIne near Le Vergieur, north west of St. Quentin, on 18th September 1918. He led his company over with the first wave of the attacking infantry and quickly got his guns into action under heavy shell and machine gun fire, covering the advance to the second objective. Later, when ordered at short notice to move to the second objective and assist the advance to the final objective, he, by his energy and total disregard for personal danger, got all his guns up in time, sited them, and greatly assisted the infantry. He did fine work.'
