Military Cross 'During the operations on 26th - 28th August 1918, a hidden machine gun was holding up his company. He moved forward with a runner, located the gun, and, sending back the runner with a full report, rushed, the gun alone, capturing it and killing the crew. Later he took command of his company when all the other officers had become casualties, and led it successfully to its objective, displaying great gallantry throughout the day.'
