Medals |
Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. This officer led a raid with great courage and dash. He later conducted the retirement with great skill and ability. Though severely wounded himself, he carried two helpless men back to our line, and then returned to supervise the Lewis gun team, who, under heavy bombing were covering the withdrawal. When finally he retired himself to our line, he found some of his party missing, so he went out again in face of heavy machine gun fire to lead search parties. His very gallant example had a most inspiring effect on all the men.'
