Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and leadership. This officer twice moved out with about 20 men to dislodge the enemy from some high ground. On the first occasion he was driven back, but later, working his way over difficult ground, he got close up, and attacked about 150 of them, capturing 26 prisoners, one machine gun and four automatic rifles, with ammunition and other material. His coolness had a great influence on his men.'
