Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and determination during a raid on the enemy's trenches. He guided the attack, arranged for passing the wire and cleared the track for the withdrawal. Some formidable wire was found in a depression in the ground but he skilfully prepared a sufficient gap in it. His coolness conduced much to the success of the raid.'
