Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty near Brancourt, on 8th October 1918. Throughout the whole of the action, as forward observation officer of the brigade, he displayed the most conspicuous courage and energy under very heavy shell and machine gun fire, keeping the brigade well posted with the tactical situation, and enabling valuable work to be done by the artillery in supporting the infantry and breaking up enemy concentrations. On one occasion when the enemy launched a local counter attack, he organized a party of Lewis gunners, broke up the attack, capturing twenty prisoners and dispersing the remainder. He also captured a 4.2 gun. His coolness and courage throughout were most marked.'
