Distinguished Service Order 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty while commanding his squadron during an attack. Although the enemy was in a strong position, with a great number of well concealed machine guns, and were threatening to envelop his flank, he led his men forward with the utmost courage. Under a terrific machine gun fire, he handled his squadron to the best advantage, and set a splendid example of coolness until he was himself severely wounded.'
