Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and initiative. When his company were caught by heavy machine gun fire during an attack, he at once went out in front of the leading wave, and rallied the sections, which had sustained heavy casualties. Though wounded, he led his men to their objective, and continued to direct the fighting until he collapsed. His determination and courage were an inspiration to his men.'
