Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and ability whilst commanding his battalion. During an attack upon the enemy position he displayed excellent judgment in selecting his frontage, which he held against repeated counter attacks. After an exhausting fight against superior numbers, he withdrew his men with losses of 60 percent, but still ready for action, owing to his fine personal example.'
Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 189 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in the mopping up of two 'pill-boxes'. He personally reconnoitred ground in front of the advanced position, and located an enemy strong point, which was blown up, and two prisoners were taken. Though wounded twice, he remained on duty for forty eight hours.'
