Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. This officer attacked a machine gun that was checking our advance, and with complete success bombed the detachment, and put the gun out of action. With two other men, he then made prisoners of one officer and twelve men. Later, he led his patrol against a party of the enemy who were concentrating on our front, and forced them to retire. His coolness and fearless behavious under fire maintained a fine spirit in his platoon throughout the attack.'
