Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He led out a patrol, successfully engaged a strong party of the enemy, and brought back most valuable information. He set a fine example to his men.'
Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 133 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Though badly wounded before the battalion had reached his first objective, this officer insisted on carrying on, and took over the command of his company. When the objective had been gained, he superintended the work of consolidation, until the pain and loss of blood caused by his wound forced him to lie down. Still refusing to be evacuated he continued to receive and send messages. On a further advance and re-consolidation by the battalion, he again insisted on being carried up to the new point, where he supervised the work of consolidation though under very heavy hostile shell fire. His wonderful grit and eetermination proved a fine example to all ranks.'
