Military Cross 'On 3rd October 1918, in the vicinity of Estrees and Ramicourt, he was engaged in the reconnaisance of roads captured during the advance. He examined roads up to our front line, and in many cases beyond it, and during the whole of both days worked under heavy shell and machine gun fire. On the 4th October he removed an enemy road mine from a spot which was under heavy direct machine gun fire. He showed great gallantry and untiring devotion to duty.'
