Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in charge of an advanced dressing station. He continued to work calmly for several hours under violent and accurate hostile fire, during which his dug-out was three times hit and considerably damaged. Throughout the operations he displayed a magnificent example of gallantry and devotion to duty, and inspired all under him with a like disregard of personal risk. Much of his work was done in the open and under very trying and dangerous conditions, but the cheerfulness and imperturbability which he maintained in the face of danger were of the greatest assistance in the speedy evacuation of the wounded.'
