Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He led forward parties, and marked and formed a track to the captured position under heavy fire. Later, when he found that the neighbouring infantry were without officers, he immediately took command, and consolidated the position with great skill under very difficult conditions. He set a magnificent example to all ranks by his gallantry and contempt of danger.'
