Military Cross Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 169 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When the flank of the brigade to which he was attached became exposed during an advance, he passed through a heavy enemy barrage, and by skilful disposition of his machine guns he covered the flank and rendered great assistance to the infantry in repelling an enemy counter attack. During the advance he succeeded in bringing fifteen captured machine guns into action against the enemy by collecting and organizing crews from the infantry, whom he had previously trained in the use of these guns. His courage, energy, and devotion to duty were beyond all praise.'
