Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When his battalion was isolated and in want of rations and water, he volunteered to go back to camp and endeavour to bring rations and water up. Whilst returning they met a small convoy, which had attempted to reach the battalion, retiring in confusion under hostile machine gun fire. After rallying this party, he persisted in making an attempt with it to reach the battalion, which he succeeded in doing. His courage, determination, and devotion to duty in bringing up these much needed supplies cannot be too highly praised.'
