Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during an attack. He helped very materially in getting the guns of the heavy artillery into action in their new positions by making reconnaissances of forward roads and repairing them. When a number of ammunition lorries came under heavy fire, and two received direct hits, he, by his fine example and able management, caused the road to be cleared and traffic to be quickly continued.'
