Military Cross 'During the attack on Peronne, on 1st September, 1918, his platoon was held up by a thick belt of uncut wire. In spite of casualties he forced a way through and reached his objective, where his skill in consolidation saved the lives of many of his men. His gallantry and initiative inspired his men with great confidence throughout the operations.'
