| Medals |
Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. After seven nights of work in heavily shelled and gassed areas, this officer undertook the strengthening of tunnels under a road to enable armoured cars to pass. He organized and guided a large carrying party under intermittent shell and machine gun fire, and got all materials up before dawn. Although suffering from gas, he continued at work all day and completed his task before dark. But for his resource and leadership the road would never have been ready for the cars to use in support of the attack.'
