Military Cross 'He commanded his battery wagon line during the advance from Vendelles, on 18th September 1918. The enemy shelled the locality heavily with high explosives and gas.

He withdrew the bulk of his vehicle, and then returned to get out the remaining limbers. He displayed great coolness throughout.'
