Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during an attack. Though badly shaken by a bursting shell, he stuck to duty and led his two attacking companies to their objective. The whole success of the operation was due to the way he handled and organized his command and throughout he set a very fine example to those under him.'
Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 23 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. His company was on the right flank during the attack, and met with strong opposition, but, by skilful leading, he maintained his direction, and drove the enemy out of their position, thereby removing a serious menace to the advance. The cool manner in which he directed operations, in spite of casualties from heavy fire, had a remarkable influence over his men.'
