Military Cross 'On the 31st August 1918, he led his platoon in the attack on Mont St. Quentin near Peronne, in a very gallant manner. Finding himself confronted with a strongly manned machine gun position, regardless of personal safety, he raced ahead of his men, jumped into the trench, and killed two of the enemy. His daring action resulted in the capture of two machine guns and twenty two prisoners.'
