Military Cross 'On 29th September 1918, south west of Le Catelet, he was detailed to select a headquarters in Bony for one of the leap frogging brigades. On approaching Gillemont Farm he found that the advance of the infantry of the first attacking brigade was held up. Under heavy fire he organized about 100 men and put them on to digging a defensive line. Throughout the operations his work was excellent.'
