Military Cross 'During the operations near Fontaine-les-Cappy, on 27th-29th August 1918, when the flank of the company was held up by a well concealed machine gun and about thirty men, he advanced with two men and a non-commissioned officer, and captured the gun and eight prisoners, putting the remainder to flight with heavy loss. His gallantry and good leadership were conspicuous and his complete disregard for his own safety was a splendid example to his men.'
