Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During a night counter attack this officer formed his regimental aid post in the open just in front of the jumping off line, and continued to dress wounded there for twenty four hours, under continuous fire. The medical officers of two other battalions both became casualties early in the attack, and he attended to the wounded of those battalions besides his own. His coolness and splendid work saved scores of lives.'
