Military Cross Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 103 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. While his battalion was assembling for an attack it came under a very heavy barrage. With great coolness and determination and utter disregard of personal safety, he reorganized his own company, and then assisted in reorganizing the rest of the battalion. Throughout the operations his work was admirable, and he was largely responsible for the success achieved.'
