Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During some operations, in order to bring a barrage fire on a wood, it was necessary to get sixteen guns into position in a village. This officer was given the task, and completed it during the night, although he had to cross a river where all the bridges were broken, and he had to get some timber from an enemy dump to improve one, and was under fire the whole time.'
