Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and fine leading were of the greatest value to his men in the very severe fighting which took place during the operations for the capture of Mont St. Quentin, near Peronne, on 1st and 2nd September 1918. The enemy's resistance was stubborn and desperate. The commanding officer was wounded, and he took charge of the operations, displaying a quick initiative and skill, to which in a large measure was due to the success with which the operation was conducted.'
