Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry. When his officer was badly wounded he took command and led an attack under rifle, machine gun and bomb fire. He subsequently led a second attack with great dash.'
Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 176 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty at Herleville Wood, near Foucoucourt, on 23rd August 1918. He led his platoon in the attack, and consolidated under difficult conditions, keeping his men steady by his cool example. When his Company Commander became a casualty, he took command, and, finally after a five hours' gas bombardment, he and one other officer were all that were left, and formed the remaining men into one company, staying in the gassed area for 36 hours.'
