Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty at Estrees and Villers Carbonnel, on 28th and 29th August, 1918, as forward observation officer of the brigade. He pushed forward with the first wave of infantry, and his timely information gave his brigade full opportunity to deal with the retiring enemy. His wire was the only one for the infantry to use as well, and it was through his energy and disregard of danger that the brigade was able to give the infantry close support.'
