| Medals |
Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during an enemy raid on his position. From a post on the right of the one raided he at once opened Lewis gun and rifle fire causing the enemy many casualties. He drove off the attack upon his own post and fired on the enemy while they were returning to their own lines. He then reconnoitred the position under heavy artillery and machine gun fire, re-established the raided post, and assisted in bringing in the wounded. He acted throughout with a total disregard of danger and set a splendid example to his men.
