Medals |
Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in an attack. With great dash he led his company forward into the enemy front line system, enabling the rest of his battalion to advance without severe casualties. He then organized bombing sections up a communication sap and trench, and cleared them for the advance. At one strong point he led a small party against a nest of enemy machine guns, capturing two guns, and putting the crews out of action. He did very fine service.'
