Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He handled his company with great efficiency, although he had lost all his officers, and captured his objective in the face of heavy machine-gun fire, afterwards establishing his men in a good defensive trench. His unbounded energy and personality acted as a stimulant to his men, and enabled him to repulse a hostile counter-attack and to supply his Commanding Officer with accurate information as to the movements of the enemy.'
