Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He led his platoon with great determination in the attack, and though blown up and buried by a shell early inthe action he continued the advance. When held up by direct fire from a machine gun and a field gun he attacked and killed six of the gun crew with the bayonet, the remainder surrendering. His splendid action inspired his men with confidence, and the position was taken without further loss, largely owing to his fearlessness and leadership.'
