Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. While several batteries were moving forward by night over very difficult ground a heavy bombardment of gas and high explosive shells were opened on them. The horse of one of the drivers was wounded by a shell, and fell on the driver, who was also wounded. Taking off his box respirator so as to be able to see better, he succeeded with two others, in rescuing the driver from under the horse. He then collapsed from the effects of the gas.'
