Distinguished Service Order 'For distinguished leadership and devotion to duty. On the 30th September, 1918, at Salahiye (Damascus), he was charged with the work of clearing the gardens to the south of the village, in expectation of the whole force following. In spite of the main body being deflected by another order, this officer pursued a very vigorous course through the gardens, clearing out 150 enemy and machine guns before reaching the railway line. He also did very valuable work in consolidating the position taken up across the road. Throughout the operations his work was excellent.'
