Military Cross 'For marked gallantry and leadership in a night operation west of Bellenglise, north of St. Quentin, on 18th-19th September 1918. With a handful of men he succeeded in capturing a large portion of the objective, taking many prisoners and machine guns. When a party of the enemy were holding out in rear of the position, he, with a couple of men, bombed along the trench, and, although severely wounded in this attack, he pushed on, capturing the position and many prisoners.'
