DSO 'For continuous good work with his regiment from El Kuneitra to Damascus. On the 30th September, 1918, when Kaukah was strongly held by the enemy infantry and machine guns, he was ordered to attack the enemy's left flank with his regiment mounted. He led the charge, seized his objectives with great dash, and drove the enemy in disorder towards Damascus. Over 70 prisoners and eight machine guns were captured, in conjunction with the 4th Australian Light Horse Regiment. He proved himself a gallant and able leader of troops.'
