Military Cross 'During operations lasting from 29th August to 5th September 1918, he was conspicuous for his gallantry and devotion to duty, carrying out darin reconnaissances under heavy fire and repairing bridges. He forced a track through the Somme swamp, after he had reconnoitred in a collapsible boat under the direct fire of the enemy. He gained valuable information, and his energy and initiative were worthy of high praise.'
