Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He was of great assistance as scout officer, going forward time after time through heavy fire, gaining information and reconnoitring the ground for fresh positions, to which he subsequently led the various companies. Through his energy and ability, battalion headquarters were kept well informed as to the situation.'
Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 185 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during an attack. In very thick fog he went forward and successfully laid the tape on the battalion jumping off line, which was 2 miles away. He then guided the tanks into position, and during the advance he proceeded the battalion with his scouts, spraying enemy positions with three light Lewis guns, and at one point cutting off the retreat of about 100 of the enemy. He set a splendid example of cool courage and determination.'
