Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During an attack the company on the flank of this officer was checked by the fire of an enemy machine gun post, which enfiladed our line, and also guarded the approach for the enemy reinforcements. Quickly apprehending the situation, he organized a small bombing squad, and attacked the post with determined courage. He killed the detachment, and captured the gun, and the company was then enabled to continue its advance and gain its objective. Throughout the remainder of the day he rendered most valuable service in the work of consolidating the captured position.'
