Distinguished Service Order Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 57 Date: DSO and Bar 'For conspicuous gallantry during the taking of Rosieres Station and the village of Lihons on the 9th and 11th August 1918. When his battalion had suffered heavy casualties, he personally went forward and, under heavy fire, re-organized his line. Again, after his battalion had taken Lihons, where the situation was obscure, he again went forward, and did the same under withering machine gun fire. His fine leadership and coolness under fire were largely responsible for the success achieved by his battalion.'
