Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. His battery came under heavy fire and several fires were started, and an ammunition dump was set alight. Regardless of the shell fire and the danger of an explosion he rushed to the spot, and with a few others, worked until all the fires were extinguished. He set a magnificent example of soliderly conduct to all ranks, and saved a gun and 1,000 rounds of ammunition.'
Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 120 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during an attack. While his battery was under close range and direct enfilade fire he safely extricated his guns, and by his fine example of cool courage and judgment inspired and asisted his men throughout a critical period. Thanks to his efforts the battery changed its position with comparatively few casualties.'
