Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. At the Jordan crossing near Jisr Benat Yakub, on 27th September 1918, while in dismounted action, he ably led the firing line to the Eiver Jordan under heavy machine gun fire and rifle fire. During this operation he was severely wounded in the arm, but continued at his post until after dark. He showed fine leadership, and set a splendid example to his troops.'
