Military Cross 'On the night of 15th September 1918, at Le Verguier north west of St. Wuentin, he displayed great courage and leadership. At the time of jump-off the enemy put down a heavy bombardment on our position with gas and high explosives, but despite this shelling he led his platoon through to the objective. His fine example and clever handling of his platoon were responsible for capturing the strong point with three machine guns and beating off several counter attacks by the enemy.'
