Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in repairing telephone wires several times during an attack when the signallers were casualties. When, owing to shelling, the battery was ordered to temporarily evacuate the position, he saw that every one was clear before leaving. Although knocked over by a shell he reported back for duty four hours later, and was ordered away by his senior officer. Next morning he again presented himself for duty and caried on until relieved.'
Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 110 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry south of Chuignes on 23rd August 1918. When asked to engage some enemy machine guns, which were holding up the left flank, he made a reconnaissance, moved up two of his guns under cover of a sunken road, and quickly silenced the guns. He then, with a proportion of his gun teams, rushed the post and captured two guns and fifteen prisoners. By his initiative and daring he enabled the advance to be resumed and saved the infantry many casualties.'
