Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during the operations near Le Verquier north west of St. Quentin, on 18th September 1918. Besides leading his own platoon, he repeatedly went forward under heavy fire when the officer in charge of the platoon in front of him had become a casualty, and supervised the platoon. During the final assault and consolidation he showed great ability to command.'
