Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He successfully led his company through extremely heavy enemy barrage to the relief of a battalion, which he accomplished with very few casualties, afterwards organizing the defence with great skill, and greatly influencing his men by his personal example and courage. He displayed great resource and ability in keeping up communications with his headquarters, even under the heaviest barrage, and he contributed largely to the successful holding of the line by his battalion.'
