Military Cross 'On 17th October 1918, at St. Souplet, he was detailed with three men to ascertain machine gun defences. He joined the first wave of infantry and pressed forward with them through heavy enemy barrage. During the advance, he and one runner carried the other two who had been wounded to an aid post under fire, and then by personal reconnaissance he obtained an accurate statement of the infantry progress. Later, he led his section in the advance. He showed throughout great gallantry, coolness, and ability.'
