Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During a night attack, although twice wounded, this officer at first declined to leave his post. Later he was ordered to do so, but returned after having his wounds dressed. He displayed admirable leadership during the attack, and his reconnaissance during consolidation led to the capture of a strong post which was menacing the right flank.'
