Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. The enemy penetrated the position on his right and enfiladed his battalion with machine gun fire. He formed a defensive flank and foiled repeated attempts to roll up his line, inspiring his men by his fearlessness to hold on in a desperate situation. It was largely owing to his prompt action that the brigade front was held intact.'
