Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in attack, when he led a party of three men in broad daylight against a hostile post consisting of about fifteen of the enemy and succeeded in partly surrounding them. When within 20 yards of the post he rushed it, and his party succeeded in killing seven of the garrison, the remainder of whom made their escape. Later, his party was counter attacked by about thirty of the enemy, but he successfully withdrew, and reached his trench with only one man a casualty. His courage and resource have at all times been most marked.'
