Military Cross 'Near Lihons, on 9th and 10th Sugust 1918, he led his platoon boldly throughout, and, at a critical stage when the attacking company was suffering severe casualties he dashed forward with his men, reinforced the leading wave, and greatly assisted them to carry on the advance. He displayed marked coolness and gallantry whilst leading his men, and inspired them by his courage in the face of heavy fire. Later, when all officers of another company had become casualties, he took charge, re-organized it, and superintended the consolidation of the line taken up.'
