Military Cross At the capture of Mont St. Quentin, on the 1st September, 1918, in charge of a Stokes gun and crew, he advanced with the attacking waves, and, despite heavy machine-gun fire, he brought his guns to bear on enemy nests with much success. On reaching the objective, he reconnoitred the position alone, and, although constantly under heavy fire, he served his gun for several hours with good effect. The success of the advance and consolidation was largely due to his fine courage and resource.
