Military Cross 'During the operation commencing on the nights 22nd-23rd October 1918, while his battery was moving forwad to a closer position south of Basuel, he individually led each team across the shelled area, and returned for another until all were in. The fact that the battery occupied its position punctually and with a minimum of casualties was very largely due to his excellent and gallant conduct.'
