Military Cross 'During the operations near Bellicourt, between 30th September and 2nd October 1918, he displayed conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On many different occasions he organized parties for the carrying forward of ammunition and rations to the line over ground heavily swept by artillery and machine gun fire. His action in leading forward several parties with ammunition and bombs undoubtedly saved the situation forward, as the supply had run out.'
