Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry near Le Catelet, on 1st October 1918. As battalion scout and intelligence officer, he commanded a patrol of four men, which reconnoitred the country to the east of the St. Quentin Canan Tunnel under heavy machine gun and shell fire. The information gained from this reconnaisance was of great value, and enabled his battalion to occupy a position of great importance with very slight casualties.'
