Military Cross 'When the advance on 3rd September 1918, in front of Mont St. uentin was held up by strong machine gun nests, supported by a large body of the enemy, he quickly rushed two of his guns into action, and, although in a very exposed position, dispersed the enemy, and enabled the infantry to capture the nests. He received several machine gun bullet wounds, but, reconnoitring forward alone, he gallantly placed all his guns in positions before his wounds forced him to retire.'
