Military Cross ''For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in the attack on Herleville Wood on 23rd August, 1918, as intelligence and Lewis gun officer. He maintained direction, and kept in touch with the situation, pressing forward to the hottest part of the fighting to locate enemy guns. When many of our guns were put out of action he moved across the whole front under heavy fire, collecting and organizing guns and crews. When the battalion sector was subjected to gas shelling he reconnoitred for positions for the battalion where the concentration of fire was not so intense. He showed fine energy and resource.''
