Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and determination during an advance. he led his section forward 600 yards in rear of the leading infantry, and brought his guns into action. He successfully engaged several machine guns which were checking the advance, and saved many casualties among the attacking infantry by his resource and initiative.'
Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 61 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For most conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He was forward observation officer on 31st August 1918, near Clery-sur-Somme, and established an observation post in close proximity to the enemy on a commanding position in Clery-sur-somme, which was under heavy shell fire. Noticing an enemy machine gun inflicting casualties on our advancing troops, he with an infantry runner, rushed the gun and crew, and swung the gun round and trained it on the enemy. He showed a splendid example and doubtless saved many lives by his courageous and dashing action.'
