OBE Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 30 Date: Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in charge of the forward line of evacuation for eight hours after his commanding officer was wounded. His reconnoitring of ambulance posts and regimental aid posts through the area of shell fire was of great assistance in controlling the evacuation. He supervised the loading of wounded into ambulances and organized the line of bearers and prisoners, and it was due to his action that great congestion was prevented.'
