Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. This officer was in command of a party who were charged with the duty of clearing enemy details from a village. It was mainly due to his gallantry and admirable cooperation and systematic working of the parties detailed for different sectors being excellent. He himself was wounded, but remained in the fighting till the end. He set a fine example of courage and fine leadership, which were of the utmost value in the operation.'
