Military Cross 'For fine courage and leadership on the 25th September, 1918, near Amman. When the advance was held up by strong enemy posts, he with his troops galloped under heavy machine gun and rifle fire, to within 100 yards of the enemy position. He dismounted and attacked, and with his Hotchkiss gun enfiladed the enemy position. After twenty minutes engagement, the enemy surrendered. Three officers, 44 other ranks, two machine guns, one Hotchkiss rifle, and two field guns were captured.'
