Military Cross 'For his useful and gallant conduct during the operations near Le Vergieur, north west of St. Quentin, and against the Hindenburg outpost line, as brigade intelligence officer, on 18th September 1918. Prior to the commencement of the operations, he carried out a daring reconnaissance along the whole brigade frontage, and definitely located the whereabouts of all the enemy posts and positions immediately on our front, and also supervised the laying of the 'jumping off' tapes for the brigade. During the progress of the fight he went forward with the assaulting troops, behaved most gallantly, and kept brigade constantly advised as to the progress of events.'
