Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. on two consecutive nights this officer was responsible for throwing the foot bridges across a river in "No Man's Land". The first night he organized the operation and his covering party so skilfully that two bridges were constructed and bridge heads established in one and a half hours. The second night he launches a bridge with sappers only, and, while on his way to launch the second bridge, suffered 50 percent casualties, but got the bridge launched and reported ready just in time for the attack to commence. Then he helped to carry his casualties to the regimental aid post.'
