Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in charge of machine guns in an attack. He led his men to the assembly positions through an intense barrage without casualties and went forward in the advance, showing complete disregard of danger. When the objective was captured he placed his guns with great tactical skill, and inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy. Though wounded he refused to withdraw until the position was made secure. He was largely responsible for the success of the operation.'
