Military Cross 'This officer, whilst carrying out the duties of right flank guard to the regiment in its advance on Jenin on 20th September 1918, came upon nearly 1,000 of the enemy. With quick decision and free courage, he charged with the sword, completely demoralizing the enemy, with the result that the whole party was captured by him. Although continually sniped at, he succeeded in disarming the lot.'
