Military Cross 'During the attack near Jeancourt on 18th September 1918, he established his regimental aid post immediately in rear of the jumping off place, and attended to the wounded of his and of a supporting battalion under heavy shell fire in an exposed position. As the attack progressed he moved forward and treated large numbers of casualties in the open. By his energy, disregard of danger, and clever organizatin, he relieved a great deal of suffering, and throughout set a splendid example to those under him.'
