Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in command of a tank and Lewis guns during an attack. Just before reaching the final objective his tank was disabled by a direct hit, and a number of men wounded. He immediately got his personnel together, and, under heavy enfilade fire, advanced and established his post according to instructions. He then returned to the tank, and, although seriously wounded, superintended the evacuation of the wounded.'
