Military Cross 'During our attack he captured a group of enemy machine guns which were holding up our advance. Later, by skilful manoeuvring, he worked round the flank of the enemy, who were resisting with determination, and, though his party had suffered heavy casualties, he forced the enemy to retire, and the advance continued. He set a fine example of personal courage, and displayed admirable qualities of leadership.'
