Medals |
Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When six out of his eight guns had been destroyed, four while being brought forward in tanks, and two during the actual attack, he left the remaining two in charge of an officer, and forming up his other three sections, led them into the attack as infantry. In this way he gave valuable help, outflanking and surrounding a machine gun next, which surrendered. He proved himself ubiquitous, either as an infantry or T.M. Officer.'
