Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. This officer handled his companywith skill when the attacking enemy forced an entry into the trenches on his flank. He promptly stiffened the danger points and kept the brigade flank intact. He then organized a bombing party and drove the enemy along the trench. Later, by adroit dispositions of snipers and Lewis guns, he inflicted heavy casualties on the retiring enemy. His initiative and coolness under intense fire readjusted a critical situation.'
