Military Medal 'During the operation against the HINDENBURG Line near REINCOURT on the morning of the 11th April 1917 he showed great coolness and excellent leadership in steadying his men and keeping them well in hand during the advance. In the enemy trenches his organisation of the counter bomb work went far towards enabling us to hold as long as we did. Throughout the whole operation he displayed a magnificent courage and devotion to duty. He is recommended for distinction.'
