Medals |
Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. This officer, in charge of an ammunition convoy, came under very heavy shell fire when passing along a sunken road, the two leading teams of mules being killed and the leading wagon set on fire. He immediately diverted the remainder of the convoy, and then returned to assist the wounded, although the shell fire was still intense, and there was danger of the burning wagon exploding at any moment. He got all the wounded under cover and extinguished the fire.'
