Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. His sector was heavily attacked by the enemy, but he succeeded in preventing them from penetrating it, keeping his men together in most difficult circumstances by his splendid example. Had he allowed the enemy to gain a footing in his trench the brigade front would have been seriously menaced. Later, he led patrols into the enemy country, and gained valuable information.'
