Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in command of bearer division. He attended to many casualties which occurred amongst the personnel of batteries and working parties, carrrying out his duties in the open with utter disregard of danger.'
Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 150 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty on 18th September 1918, south of Le Verguier. He moved forward with his bearers closely in rear of advancing battalion and under heavy machine gun and shell fire, and by absolute disregard of his own personal safety was able to keep in close contact with brigade regimental medical officers. By this action the wounded were evacuated in the quickest possible manner, all congestion at regimental aid posts was prevented, and undoubtedly many lives were saved.'
