Military Cross 'For gallant leadership during the operations near Bony from 29th September to 2nd October 1918.

Later, when again in command of a patrol, he made a successful reconnaissance along his company front, then entering and passing through Bony, he pushed onto the main Hindenburg line, engaging and inflicting casualties on the enemy.'
