Croix de Guerre (Belgium) Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 185 Date: Military Medal 'For conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty during operations at PERONNE on 1st and 2nd September 1918. During the initial stages of the operations this N.C.O's platoon commander became a casualty. He immediately took command and by his effective handling of the platoon he gained the absolute confidence of the men under him. Although under heavy artillery and Machine Gun fire his coolness and disregard of personal safety was most noticed by the men under him and by this set a great example. His initiative and good judgment greatly minimised the casualties in his platoon. After the attack he continually visited his outposts and by using great tact cheered the men up considerably notwithstanding the trying circumstances and personal risk. This N.C.O.'s leadership, judgment and coolness are worthy of the highest praise.'
