Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry during the operations west of Bellenglise, on 18th-19th September 1918. He led his platoon forward over 1,000 yards of open ground under heavy fire, to protect the right flank of the battalion, and it was owing to his determined leadership that he finally reached the sunken road in front of the objective, where he dug in. This operation added greatly to the success of an operation carried out later in the day.'
