Distinguished Service Order 'During the operations near Bellicourt, from 30th September to 2nd October, 1918, he displayed most conspicuous courage and leadership. He led a charge against an enemy machine gun strong post, mopped up the garrison of about twenty, and captured three machine guns. Shortly after this he and his party of six men came across a double entrance dug out, manned with a machine gun at each entrance. Here he personally shot three men with his revolver, and accounted for a total of fifteen and captured two guns. He did magnificent work.'
