Military Cross 'This officer was in charge of a railway train, engaged in moving guns of a battery which was being heavily shelled. He had just got the first gun placed on the truck when the emplacement was blown up by a shell, and the railway line broken. He persisted in loading up, and supervised the mending of the line, finally getting the whole of the battery away safely.'
