Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He led his platoon with great determination during an attack, capturing the objective, and passing 300 yards beyond it. He eventually withdrew from this advanced position (as it interfered with our protective barrage) after having repelled an enemy counter attack with great loss. When his company commander was 'missing' he took command and re-organized the defence. He set a splendid example of determination and resource.'
