Military Cross 'Near Bony, from 29th September 1918 to 2nd October 1918, he did gallant and able work. His personal reconnaissances in the face of enemy opposition were of the greatest value to his battalion. When his brigade and the brigade on its rights were held up, he with two other ranks, made a personal reconnaissance of the outskirts of the village of Bony, bringing back information of the greatest value concerning the dispostion of enemy posts and snipers.'
