| Medals |
Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in making a valuable and very daring reconnaissance. After having met two enemy cavalry patrols, which fell back, he, with the N.C.O. and two men, pushed forward from the forward party. He reached a road, which he followed for some distance and closely examined, remaining for about an hour. He then returned, and on the way back his troop met a troop of enemy cavalry, which they chased in the darkness, one prisoner being taken, who gave valuable information. On this, as on previous occasions, this officer displayed great skill and gallantry.'
