Military Cross Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 169 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during a hostile attack. After a heavy bombardment, the enemy attacked in strength, and advanced to within bombing distance of the position. Though twice wounded he moved from post to post, encouraging his men and supervising the defence. During part of the time all communication was broken, and it was largely due to his initiative and courage that the position was maintained.'
