Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He went through a barrage, marked out a strong point, and returned for his section. When leading it out, it was caught by heavy fire, and suffered losses, and with great skill and presence of mind dug a trench across 'No Man's Land'. His work over a most difficult portion of our front was marked by conspicuous ability and utmost disregard of personal danger.'
