Medals |
Military Cross 'During the operations of 17th October 1918, in the attack from the Selle River, information as to the situation of the attacking troops was unobtainable. This officer was sent forward on a motor cycle from divisional artillery headquarters with orders to get in touch. This he did, and brought back most important information. This was due to his keen initiative and his disregard for personal safety.'
