Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When in charge of three teams returning from delivering ammunition to the guns, he came under a heavy hostile barrage. Although he and his horse were thrown by an explosion into a shell hole, he recovered, and led the teams through to safety. He then returned to search for two of his drivers, who were missing, found one of them, and assisted by a soldier, carried him back to the dressing station in spite of the fact that he himself was very severely shaken from the effects of the gas. He then rejoined his teams and took them back to the wggon lines.'
