Military Cross 'During operations near Montbrehain on 4th October 1918, he, accompanied by one man, rushed a strong enemy post, killed one officer, wounded another, and captured and brought in the garrison of 40 men. The post contained three heavy and five light machine guns. His marked gallantry and able leadership throughout turned what at one time appeared to be a critical situation into a complete local success.'
