Distinguished Service Order Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 169 Date: Bar to DSO 'For conspicuous gallantry in the attack on Chuignolles and Chuignes on 23rd August, 1918. He established his headquarters close behind the fighting troops, and in spite of heavy shell fire exercised valuable control during the progress of the fvight. By personal reconnaissance he was able to direct the fire of the heavy artillery upon numerous field guns and machine guns, which were causing casualties. Also, by organizing the fire of Vickers and Lewis guns upon enemy machine guns, he was able to send on the attack. Upon gaining the set objective he pushed out patrols, which brought back valuable information, enabling the gain to be further exploited. Owing to his splendid leadership, his battalion made an advance of nearly 3 miles and captured several hundred prisoners and some machine guns.'
