Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Prior to an attack, he made a difficult reconnaissance to select a site for a continuous wave wireless set, and conducted the wireless personnel to the position selected. On the night of the attack, he acted at the observation post as forward observation officer, and when the infantry advanced, he followed them under heavy shell fire, maintaining communication, and telephoning back valuable information, which was passed to brigade headquarters. Throughout the operations he afforded a fine example of courage and devotion to duty.'
