| Medals |
Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He completed a sap which had been commenced the previous night, taking over the work at short notice. He successfully taped out the trench, though unable to make any previous reconnaissance, and successfully and rapidly completed the work in spite of the very heavy shelling of the enemy artillery, with comparatively few casualties. The success with which this heavy task was accomplished was largely due to the able dispositions of this officer, and the disregard of danger and energy with which he encouraged his working party.'
