Military Cross ''For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During several days' minor operations he showed a splendid offensive spirit in numerous hand-to-hand encounters with the enemy. In a bombing attack he captured 300 yards of the enemy trench system but an enemy counter attack divided his company, and the position became critical. He at once led a party against superior numbers of the enemy,drove them back, and restored the situation by his determined action.''
