Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty near Peronne, from 23rd to 26th August, 1918, as R.M.O. of a battalion. He placed his aid post in a railway cutting, where he dressed the wounded of his own and other units, under machine gun and shell fire. When all our wounded had been cleared, he went out and attended to the enemy in the open; while doing so, a shell burst in their midst, killing his orderly, a stretcher bearer, and several wounded, and wounding him. He continued at work for another 24 hours before reporting for relief.'
