Military Cross 'During the operations near Fontaine-les-Cappy, on 27th to 29th August 1918, as intelligence officer to the battalion, he was indefatigable in carrying out reconnaissances. He was never out of touch with the retreating enemy, though often under very severe artillery and machine gun fire. Throughout the operations he set a splendid example to all ranks of courage and devotion to duty, and his untiring energy and skill were of the utmost value, both to the battalion and to the division.'
