Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty as liaison officer with the flanking battalion. When his runners became casualties he continually passed through the enemy barrage himself and brought back valuable information. Later, he reconnoitred the jumping-off trench in daylight, and led the attacking troops into position. After the attack he again reconnoitred our new positions and led the relieving battalion to their line.'
Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No 137 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During an attack on a village, this officer was at the forward report centre. On receipt of orders for mopping up of the village, he went forward and assisted the two companies in their organization for that purpose. Several times during the day he went forward to collect information, and brought back accurate reports to his commanding officer. Later he helped the companies by laying out a tape for their digging in. Throughout the operations his assistance was invaluable and was largely responsible for its successful issue.'
