Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during a hostile attack. When the battalion on the right had fallen back, he went forward, while the retirement was in progress, and moved about among the troops rallying them, and when the possibility of consolidation was decided on, he sent most accurate information of the situation to battalion headquarters. He then established location of the whole battalion line, being throughout constantly subjected to heavy machine gun and snipers' fire.'
