Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He was in charge of a convoy of motor lorries carrying urgent material forward. He found the road impassable owing to heavy shelling and dumps buring on each side of the road. He took his unloading party forward, cleared, and repaired the road, and got his convoy through. He displayed great courage, determination, and initiative, and succeeded where others failed.'

He completed a sap from our original front line to the captured position, under heavy shell and machine gun fire, in spite of great unforeseen practical difficulties and dangerous obstacles left by the enemy. His untiring energy and personal disregard of danger greatly encouraged his men.'
