Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Having reached the objective with one officer, the only survivors of twelve, he did splendid work in rallying the men and strengthening the position, throwing out a protective flank. His great courage and calmness were particularly notiable during a terrific enemy fire on the following night. The success of the battalion in this operation was largely due to his efforts.'
