Military Cross 'Near Lihons, on 11th August 1918, he led his company with splendid dash and determination throughout the whole operation. Noticing a gap existed between our left flank and the right of the unit on the left, he led his company, which was in support, into it. The enemy had also perceived this gap, and was endeavouring to rush through. With fine judgment, he at once attacked, and placed his company across the gap, encourntering determined opposition in doing so. This action undoubtedly prevented a serious situation arising. Throughout the operation he displayed great judgment and skill.'
