Military Cross Source: 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 57 Date: Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in command of sixteen guns in a night attack on a village. Although his guns were all in position over a wide front, and he had very short notice of the attack, he had them all ready to move off at zero hour. He made a thorough reconnaissance of the forward positions, and sited his guns to cover the consolidation. He led his company in the attack on five different days, and always with good results.'
