Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and determined leadership. In the attack on Lihons on 10th August, 1918, he made a daring reconnaissance under heavy machine gun fire and then led his platoon to the attack. Later in the day he cleared out a nest of machine guns, which enabled the platoon on his right to get forward into a wood, which was then quickly captured. He also rendered splended service in reorganizing and again pushing forward. His dash and skill in securing the important tactical point undoubtedly was the means of saving the company many casualties.'
