Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During an advance, this officer was in charge of a portion of the front line. His duties were performed with judgment and intelligence, and the information which he sent back was of great value. The following night he personally reconnoitred, and allotted objectives to commanders of front line companies. The whole operation was under his direct control, and although wounded, he carried on until the front line had been consolidated. On his return to battalion headquarters, he gave clear information as to the dispositions.'
