Military Cross 'In the operations near Hargicourt, from 18th-21st September 1918, he showed untiring energy and devotion to duty in his care of the wounded, particularly on 21st September, when in order to give early attention he established his aid post in an open trench which was under shell fire, and moved about the area continually, dressing wounded in shell holes and open country. By his disregard for personal safety and his cheerful confidence he set a splendid example to all.'
