Military Cross 'During the attack on Mont. St. Quentin, near Peronne, on 31st August, 1918, this officer, after reaching the objective suddenly found his position surrounded by the enemy. In a few minutes nearly all his men became casualties, but with only six men and a Lewis gun left he gallantly attacked, and by sheer gallantry and determination he drove the enemy off, inflicting severe casualties on them and clearing the situation.'
