Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty as liaison officer, when he was most helpful along the line in spite of very heavy enemy fire. He was then severely wounded and crawled out to a neighbouring telephone, and gave full particulars of the situation to battalion headquarters, refusing to be evacuated until he had dictated a report and made a sketch map which proved of great value.'
