Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and resource. He led his company with great skill in an attack. When part of the attacking troops lost direction in the thick fog, and a gap occurred in the line, he filled the gap, and then led his men to the objective, taking 50 prisoners. In a later attack he led his men in the capture of an enemy headquarters, taking 18 officers and 250 other ranks prisoners. He showed splendid leadership and courage.'
