Military Cross Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 67 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. This officer having located an enemy trench, took six men and raided it by daylight. On jumping into the trench, he found it strongly held by over 40 of the enemy, but he remained long enough to kill ten and take two prisoners. On the way back these two were killed by enemy bombs. His dash and resource gained useful information, and kept up our ascendency in 'No Man's Land'.'
