Medals |
Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During a day when the enemy were shelling amain road with high explosives and gas, this officer, on three separate occasions, rescued wounded men under great difficulties. When an ammunition waggon and team received a direct hit he went and carried one of the men to safety, returning again through the barrage to rescue a second. Later on he assisted in rescuing three more men. His conduct and example throughout the day were of great value to others.'
