Military Cross 'On 29th September, 1918, during operations south of Bony, he was sent forward to establish Forward Battalion Headquarters. On meeting a strong enemy machine gun post he immediately attempted it with his runners. Finding that the frontal attack had no effect, he rushed forward alone to a flank, and endeavoured to take the enemy in the rear, but was wounded before he attained his object. He displayed great gallantry and initiative.'
