Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 62 Date: Military Cross 'Near Jeancourt, on 18th September 1918, when a very strong enemy position in Brosse Wood was threatening th old up the advance of his company, he led his men with marked courage, overcoming the resistance and capturing the position, with two machine guns and fifty prisoners. Though wounded, he carried on and cleared up the wood and advanced to the final objective over 15,000 yards further on. He only left the line after consolidation was complete. His conduct was splendid.'
