Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. This officer tended the wounded in the open from 4 a.m. until 111 a.m. one morning. During this period he was under very heavy explosive and gas bombardment but, although suffering from the effects of gas he stuck to his aid post. His rapidity in evacuating wounded from the gassed area no doubt saved many.'
