Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. In order to assist a battalion who were suffering from a hostile enfilade fire, he went forward to check the location of the enemy machine guns and trench mortars, and to observe the fire of his battalion. He did this in full daylight and on a forward slope, exposed to heavy fire, and was seriously wounded. His splendid courage and determination was noticed by the whole brigade.'
