Distinguished Service Order 'At Semakh, on the morning of the 25th September, 1918, he was in command of one of the squadrons that charged the town. His coolness and dash in the charge were a good example to the men, and went a long way towards the success of the operation. He organized a bayonet charge from the west of the twon, and by collecting all the men he could, and by his resourcefulness and untiring energy, he was able to stop what might have been a repulse, and finally, in the general clearing up of the town, he did great work.'
