Military Cross Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 61 Bar to Military Cross 'At Semakh, on the 25th September 1918, he galloped forward with the first wave, and charged through the line of machine guns. He then collected seven men under a withering fire, and led them across to attack a field gun and a machine gun which were firing into our men from the right. Although he had his sword broken and his right hand wounded, he attacked four enemy with his revolver in the left hand, killing one and taking three prisoners. After handing these three prisoners over, he captured four more prisoners. He set a fine example of daring and fearlessness.'
