Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty at a critical stage of an attack, when the enemy had almost ained the right of a ridge; this officer collected a handful of regimental staff details, and held a post against heavy odds. He repelled two attacks, using a rifle effectively himself, and thus gained time for reserved to come up.'
