Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty near Bray, on 22nd August, 1918. When the infantry were suffering heavily after reaching their first objective from fire of all descriptions, he dashed forward with his mortar and gun team to within 100 yards of the village, and effectively engaged the enemy machine guns and trench mortars. When his men had to fetch more ammunition he ran forward 50 yards and brought a deserted minesweeper into action, silencing a sniper and machine gun. His energy and courage set a splendid example to all ranks.'
