Military Cross 'For conspicuous galloantry and devotion to duty at Hargicourt on 18th September 1919. In the attack on enemy defences he did splendid work in asisting to reorganize the companies ready for the advance to the second objective. Later, he went forward on three occasions under heavy artillery and machine gun fire to ascertain the situation, and it was to a large extent due to his fearless initiative and energy that the flanks were connected and securely consolidated. Throughout the whole operations he set a splendid example to all ranks.'
