Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty at Nablus on the 21st September, 1918. Being sent to make a vigorous reconnaissance towards Nablus he came under unexpected machine gun fire from the right flank, but completed his reconnaissance under fire on about 500 yards of open road. The information he returned with was most valuable, and enabled dispositions to be made which resulted in the taking of the twon with only one casualty.'
