Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in a raid. After making a daring reconnaissance before hand, he led his party with great dash into the enemy trench, and accounted for six of the enemy, one of whom he killed himself.'
Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 23 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and during an attack. Finding that troops on the right were held up by enemy machine guns, he organized an attack from both sides, leading one personally and killed or captured all the gun crews. Later, when rushed by the enemy and wounded, he and a few men put them to flight, taking two prisoners. He displayed splendid dash and leadership, and his work was of great value to the advance.'
